Re: [SLE] What's the truth behind the 2GB file size limit?

I'm not claiming to know the "REAL deal" but you problem might be that your Reiser filesystem was made with the old 3.5 format. Try unmounting the filesystem and doing this: mount -o conv /yourmountpoint

This will convert the filesystem to the new format (and make it unusable with 2.2 kernel so be careful). Depending on the size of the filesystem it can take a while.

I thought the 2.4 kernel was required for over 2 gig. I think someone on this list had also once mentioned that if the file was created under 3.5, after doing the convert you still needed to copy the file to go past 2 gig. Greg Engel
