max file size in isi nfs export view

Hello,

When i check the tech spec guide from EMC support site, the max file size is shown as 4T

However, when i check the default setting for the max file size, it shows around  Max File Size: 8192.00000P , does that mean the max file size is set to 8192 Peta Byte whereas the actual size on the isilon cluster supported is 4TB ?  can someone provide insight on this ?

Hi SameerKulkarni,

I believe the 4TB size limit is a OneFS limitation. In certain versions of OneFS, files over 4TB can lead to node panics.

The OneFS file size limit is 4 TiB.  This is true in all currently shipping OneFS releases.

The (perhaps inappropriately named) "Max File Size" NFS export parameter was originally put in OneFS to work around a Mac OS X bug.  The bug was that the maximum file size as listed in the return structure from FSINFO needed to be huge (uint64_max), otherwise certain file copy operations would fail, or would exhibit undesirable behavior on the Mac.
