such large filesystems.
Note in the above:
1024 Bytes = 1 KiB;
1024 KiB = 1 MiB;
1024 MiB = 1 GiB; 1024 GiB = 1 TiB; 1024 TiB = 1 PiB; 1024 PiB = 1

An IDE disk has 64 minors, one is used for the full disk and therefore 63 partitions are possible. A SCSI disk has 16 minors and therefore only 15 partitions

任何一个文件系统在专家眼中都是安全的,就象MS说Windows是安全性是可靠的类似,如果MS专家来用Windows绝对没有任何问题,毕竟人家是专家,我们是使用者;专家和使用者还是有很大区别的;
因为我们不是专家,所以我们才要选择更为安全易用的文件系统,下面我们对比一下ext2、ext3和reiserfs;
