Dears managers,

I wanted to know the maximum disk size supported on Solaris 7.
The answer is : several TerraBytes, maybe 2 TerraBytes.

By the way the max filesystem size seems to be 1 TerraByte (not bad :=)

On my Sun Ultra 1 my 8x36 Go RAID5 gives me (around 137 Gb) :
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 248752231 1026023 245238686 1%
/home/verveine
