Bug#166838: general: outdated ext2 partition size limitations given in installation manual
Package: general
Version: N/A; reported 2002-10-28
Severity: important
Tags: patch
There is an outdated statement from the Debian installation guide - see
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-partitioning.en.html#s6.4
"Based on limitations in how ext2 works, avoid any single partition
greater than 6GB or so. "
This would be pretty annoying, and unnecessary, with a 120GB hard drive!
