Title: Does Linux have the limitations Windows have?
Post by: Xeen on 9 September 2003, 04:42

As someone who despises Microsoft and will be moving permanently to Linux within the next year (i'm kindof busy now with classes), I have to ask:

Does Linux have any hard drive limitations like Windows: Win2000 cannot support anything greater than 137 GB without Service Pack 4, and XP can't without SP1.

Does Linux have problems enabling DMA and similar features because Windows 2000 sure as hell does.

Any other limits that Windows has and Linux doesn't will be nice to know. Thanks.

Ext3 (the standard Linux filesystem) supports up to 4 Tb.

That's nothing. ReiserFS, the default filesystem of SuSE Linux (which I had used for a long time) has a maximum capacity of 17.6 Tb.
