Is there an upper limit to the size of a partition? Also is
it the same on 4.1.3 and Sol 2.3?

Thanks.

All systems have an upperlimit on the size of a partition.
Those limits differ from OS to OS.

SunOS 4.1.x: 2GB
Solaris 2.x: 1TB

In SunOS 4.1.3, the partition size limit is 2GB. You can combine
partitions with Sun's OnLine Disk Suite program to get larger single
file-systems though (that effectively acts as if you had a single
larger partition in essence).

In Solaris 2.3, the partition size limit is much higher - I forget the
exact number, but I think it is 1TeraByte. Basically, the same value as
what OnLine DiskSuite does for SunOS 4.1.3.
