What could have been the largest sized single file you ever saw? or how large could it have been? 1GB?(i'm talking of single file, not a directory). Some might have seen 3-4GB file while running some regression tests. Thats it. Atleast i haven't seen any larger file than that earlier.
     But what happened today to one of my test case was just mind blowing. Actually it may seem funny, but it wasnt at all. I was trying to dump some information to a file inside a loop. A small typo in the loop-end condition, and the hell began. Can you beleive that i created a 664GB dump file? It almost blocked all other test cases running in the project. My God! A big blunder.

PS: We all work on a central server here. Everyone is connected to it. I dont know how large the central memory is. We just login to it and work at our terminals.
