[rhn-users] 2GB Filesize Limit

[Charith Perera]

Thanks for the responses.

We're setting up Sybase which has the ability to use raw devices or files. So 
if we use files, then the 2GB limit is a concern. As Todd Warner suggested, 
it's really out of the scope of this mailing list, so I don't want to bring 
that into discussion here.

Thanks

Charith.
