Yes. SparkFS implements an image filing system. The size limit for a file handled using such a filing system is 2GB. In case SparkFS fails to check for that limit it is not surprising that there is a crash.
Well done Martin. Such large amounts of memory are bandied about these days, I never dreamt there was a limit in there.
So if it needs saying there is no checking within SparkFS because I never knew there existed such a limit. Or perhaps I never imagined 2GB files would ever exist. I think I was still on a 40MB hard drive when I wrote SparkFS.
the overall RISC OS limit for file sizes in general is 4GB, so that is a hard limit.
That is less than the RAM (memory) on many PCs. -- David Pilling email: david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://www.davidpilling.net post: David Pilling P.O. Box 22 Thornton Cleveleys Blackpool. FY5 1LR UK fax: +44(0)870-0520-941
