[Q] Maximum Size of Squeak Image in 32Bit Linux

Hi,

I'm currently developing Seaside application and the application accepts file upload
from user. Given that smalltalk treats everything as objects (not files), I do want to
store user's data to the image. The problem is that how large can I make the size of
image? User's normal, average size of data will be in the range of 100 MB to 64 GB(
single file).

Thanks in advance.

100MB is no problem at all. 64GB in a 32 bit memory space? I don't  
think so ......

To be honest for that sort of size data you'd probably be better to  
look at Gemstone. There is a free version IIRC at least for non-
commercial use. Take a look around http://seaside.gemstone.com/

     Is there an actual requirement that there be a single image, and
not a communicating set of them?

No, there's no such requirement. I can use file system instead of image.
For multiple image case, I think that's possible up to 10 or 20 images.
But number of users are 100 to 200. So I think single image per user
is not possible solution.
