If you're using ext2 as your file system, then that's your 2GB limitation.

My hard drive is partitioned as ext2, and that sucks if there's a 2GB file limitation. Any alternatives?
Thanks!
Why put all your GB in one partition?
It's not an issue of the size of a partition, it's the issue of the size of a single file. ext2 simply cannot write a file that's larger than 2gb in size, and the only alternatives at this time are ReiserFS or ext3. Reiser seems to be a good alternative, and I know several people running it in both workstation and server environments. ext3 is not even ready for a public beta yet. I hope this clarifies things. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 _\_V 6D04 39E0 CAE9 9ADA 2CA3 2EBE 898A 6C37 CA1E A29C -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
