1 System Requirements and Limits
System requirements and limitations for 64-bit Arm architecture are under review. You can check whether your hardware is supported on Oracle Linux 7 by checking the Hardware Certification List at https://linux.oracle.com/hardware-certifications. Hardware is listed as it becomes available and is validated.
File System, Storage, and Address Space Limitations
The following table describes the maximum file size and maximum
file system size for the btrfs
,
ext4
, and XFS
file
systems. File system limitations are affected by kernel versions
and features, and by the architecture of the system where Oracle Linux
is installed. The values depicted here are estimates based on
the known variables that might affect the maximum theoretical
value that can be achieved. The theoretical values might be
higher than those depicted here, and the actual achievable
values might be below the values that are shown, depending on
hardware and the kernel version used.
File System Type | Maximum File Size | Maximum File System Size |
---|---|---|

The limits for the ext4
file system that are
described here are higher than recommended and might prove
unstable. If you plan to work with systems where you are intend
to work towards using higher file system sizes or file sizes, it
is recommended that you use either the btrfs
or XFS
file system.
The maximum supported size for a bootable logical unit number (LUN) is 50 TB. GPT and UEFI support are required for LUNs that are larger than 2 TB.
The maximum size of the address space that is available to each process is 128 TB.
