What is the maximum file size for Solaris 8 in 32 bit?
Thanks in advance

The file size limit should be the same as in 64-bit solaris (whatever
it is) as long as you manipulate it with large file aware
applications.

2 GB - substantially more if you make your application
large file aware.

Yes, and assuming you use UFS, the limit is 1 TiB minus 1 B, or
1,099,511,627,775 bytes. Here's a sample file that comes pretty close
to the limit. It was created with a 32-bit app.
$ ls -l big
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eggert eggert 1099243192379 May 17 00:41 big
Presumably other filesystems have higher limits. A Terabyte doesn't
go as far as it used to.

I did not check SCSI disk standards for some time, but as long as there
are only 32 bits for sector addresses, you currently cannot go bejond
1 TB even if the FS would allow more.

That's what RAID is for.

If you have a passive RAID (handled by the host processor), you are right.
If you have an active RAID, then the communication to the RAID controler
is done via SCSI commands.
