Apple 2 GB file limit / 32 character limitation on the TeraStation
Created 05/30/2012 06:08 | Updated 10/04/2013 07:11
The limitation is not due to the format of the TeraStation (XFS).
There is a limitation with the Appletalk protocol on the device that files can be no larger than 2 GB with a maximum file/folder name length of 32 characters.
Since OS X 10.2, Apple has supported the SMB protocol for file transfers.
Mount by using Connect to Server and entering: "smb://<Terastationname>/<sharename>".
Where <Terastationname> is the network name or IP address, and <sharename> is the name of the share.
