Does Unicos NFS support files beyond 4G ? If a client which does not support files larger than 4G, executes an 'ls -l' on a server directory with files >4G, what file size attribute would show up on the client ?? Any info, pointers is greately appreciated ... Glenda

The protocol itself limits the size to 4G. The size field in GETATTR as well as byte offset in WRITE requests are only 32 bits. Thus it is not even possible to access more than 4G with NFS.
