Then the (theoretical, but not, AFAIK, supported) limit is 4GB. What *can* be done on some 2K pagesize platforms (but again, AFAIK, unsupported) is having offset+size > 2GB. Last I looked, the docs still said 2GB was the maximum chunk size. > I'd be certainly interested in hearing specific versions/platforms if > I'm wrong, however.
