In case any of you guys need a lot of space to do some VAX related stuff, I've got a 12 member, 2926056 block bound volume on KUHAVX/SIIRI.

Let me know if anyone wants an account.

Can't you do any better? ;-)

All units in blocks   

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the size of a block? ;)

512 bytes. So 16777216. blocks equals about 8 Gig. Which is the maximum size of a file system in RSX (well, support for 32-bit block numbers do exist, but is not enabled normally, so 24 bit block numbers is the normal limit).

And 512 bytes is the standard size of a disk block even on a new disk today (although 2K and 4K blocks have started to show up, but even those disks still support 512 byte blocks).
