What you are saying is that there is difference between NTFS NT4 SP6 and
NTFS W2K SP2?
Some would say that it is obvious - but not to me, if they call BOTH NTFS,
not NFTF 1 and 2 or NTFS Plain and NTFS MX etc.
As NT4 is not really around anymore - that means a .fdb file on Win2K SP2
and above (and Linux???) can be LARGE i.e HUGE i.e like TB's in size (even 1
TB will do - for a while<g>)
Great Stuff!

Or that you fell into the same trap I did? I upgraded from NT4 SP 6 to
Win2K SP2. Existing NTFS partitions apparently didn't get upgraded to
64-bit and choked on 4+Gb files. New NTFS partitions added since to new
HDDs were in 64-bit. Solution (for me) was to back up the dbs and restore
to new disks.
