|

.Ar len
|
||||
is limit to 2GB. Mmapping slightly more than 2GB doesn't work, but
|
||||
mapping a window of size (filesize % 2GB) for file sizes of slightly
|
||||
less than 2G, 4GB, 6GB and 8GB.
|
||||
|
||||
The limit is imposed for a variety of reasons. Most of them have to do
|
||||
with FreeBSD not wanting to use 64 bit offsets in the VM system due to
|
||||
the extreme performance penalty. So FreeBSD use 32bit page indexes and
|
||||
this gives FreeBSD a maximum of 8TB filesizes. It's actually bugs in
|
||||
the filesystem code that causes the limit to be further restricted to
|
||||
1TB (loss of precision when doing blockno calculations).
|
||||
|
||||
Another reason for the 2GB limit is that filesystem metadata can
|
||||
reside at negative offsets.
