Re: Clone of hard drive

["deja luser" <dejaluser@hotmail.com>]

Where can I find more info on ext2? I'm mainly interested in max fs size and 
max file size. I checked the usual suspects: howto's, man/info pages, 
/usr/doc/ and /usr/src/linux/Documentation . On a system with stable slink I 
able to make 1gig files, in an otherwise empty 3.8 gig partition, but under 
2.1 with 2.2.12 kernel (that Oreilly disk) I was able to make 2gig files.
