No, it's size. The disk management library mmaps the partition, so
that limits its size to the biggest chunk of address space you can
get, which is around 2G when you're lucky.

Unfortunatly, it's not available right now until the thug webpages come back. Until then for a released version of GNU Mach, the old guide is close enough. Jim

There is an patch that can fix the limit, it just is not in CVS or in debian at the moment. It needs a lot of testing, if you can help us with that it will be appreciated a lot! Or you can wait until it is in CVS, the Hurd, etc. But I think that can take a while. And the limit is not 1GB (that is too much on the safe side), 2GB works perfectly for everyone. -- Marco
