While downloading a torrent using bittorrent, the download stopped, returning an error message that the maximum file size has been reached at 2G. It doesn't matter what client I use, or whether I use ftp. I am running SuSE 9.3, and the filesystem is reiserfs. There is plenty of space left on the partition and there is only one partition on this mountpoint, and one partition on the drive. It is not a quota issue, which I have verified. Any help would be appreciated. (I have no problem downloading >2G files on my Ubuntu system using bittorrent. That system is using ext2. However, there isn't enough space on that drive for the whole file.) Thanks. Corvin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Was bittorrent built with large file support? If not, rebuild with CFLAGS=-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

That that bittorrent was probably built with large file support. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Let us analyse your spam- and virus-threat - up to 2 months for free.

Thanks. I will try that. One question. Does this also apply to the sftp client, which also stopped downloading the file at 2G? It is the standard openssh suite that comes with SuSE. Corvin

I would say it's very likely the same problem. /Per Jessen, Zürich (-7.00 °C) -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Let us analyse your spam- and virus-threat - up to 2 months for free.

Actually, I've just noticed that torrent is all python, so it's really the python interpreter that needs the large file support. Try this to test your filesystem "dd if=/dev/zero of=twogigfile count=2048 bs=1100000" I'm no python programmer, but someone can probably quickly whip up a couple of lines to generate a large file. And then you'll know if it's in python or not. /Per Jessen, Zürich (-3.63 °C) -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.

This returns "File size limit exceeded" Corvin

Sunny was right then, it's your filesystem. I thought you said you were using reiserfs? /Per Jessen, Zürich (-3.19 °C) -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Let us analyse your spam- and virus-threat - up to 2 months for free.
Yes, it is, reiserfs on SuSE 9.3 Also, in case anyone
suggests it, it's not a bash limit. ulimit -a shows
unlimited for file size.

In the interest of factual clarity, the numbers controlled and reported by the ulimit command (and analogous commands built into other shells) are not "bash limit[s]" or limits imposed by any shell. Rather, the kernel imposes these limits. The shell is only involved because as with other process-scoped values such as current directory, environment variables or user and group IDs, these values are inherited upon fork()-ing a new process or exec()-ing a new program. They never propagate "back" or "out" from a sub-process to the process that invoked the sub-process. This means commands that control such parameters must be implemented by the shell, lest their effect cease to exist upon termination of the separately executed process that put them into effect.

But reiserfs does support large files. Perhaps it is an old version?

Yes -- it is ReiserFS V3.5 which does not support LFS. I must not have reformatted this drive when I installed. Thanks everyone for the help. Corvin

Which torrent client are you using? KTorrent has a bug at about this size. Check KDE's site to see if there is a matching description of your problem.
