I have Suse 7.3 with kernel 2.4.19 compiled by my own, and i want to create a 5GB file.
I use the command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=largefile bs=1024k count=5120
and this is the answer that i get:
dd: writing `largefile': File too large 2049+0 records in 2048+0 records out
ls -h
2.0G largefile
I try as root and as normal user.
How can i create this file under Linux?
According to http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html it should work. What filesystem are you creating the file under?
