.bp .SH Appendix: Maximum File Sizes in the 64-bit File Server .PP The maximum size of a single file in a Plan 9 file server's file system with 64-bit block numbers is determined by the file system block size (there are single, double, triple and quadruple indirect blocks). The maximum size is thus $d ( 6 + x + x sup 2 + x sup 3 + x sup 4 )$ bytes, where $d = blocksize - ( 2 + 2 + 8 )$ and $x = left floor d over 8 right floor$, 8 being the size in bytes of a .I "long long" block number. .LP Note that $2 sup 63 ~ = ~ 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 ~ = ~ 8$ EB (binary exabytes). .LP .KS .TS center ; c s s c c c n n n .
