2gb file size limit with 2.4.0/reiser/XFS/ext2???
I thought the 2gb filesize limit was supposed to dissapear with kernel 2.4.0 and reiser. I know it's not a kernel issue because I have sgi's XFS file system on this machine also and am able to write/read files much larger than 2gb. I have a vanilla 2.4.0(final) with the reiser patches and sgi's xfs patches installed and working well, except the reiser filesystem HAS a 2gb filesize limit. Isn't reiser supposed to have broken the 2gb file size limit when used with the 2.4.0 kernel???? I haven't tried the ext2 filesystem with the 2.4.0 kernel. Isn't it also supposed to break the 2gb filesize limit with the 2.4.0 kernel??? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
You should check the mail archives at: http://www.namesys.com/ There are a number of messages posted concerning LFS on 2.4.0 and 2.4.1... that mail provide some insight as to why yours is not working. - Herman Mark Hounschell wrote:
