I heard that ReiserFS was going to get rid of the 2GB file size limit. When that didn't work, I heard that kernel 2.4 woudl get rid of it. Then I heard that the newest vesrion of ReiserFS would fix it. Then I heard that it's a problem with 32 bit architechtures. Alas, it is still with us today. I just ran a test on my newest server and it's still here: jw@ccs012:~> dd if=/dev/zero of=ddtest bs=1024 count=8192000 dd: writing `ddtest': File too large 2097153+0 records in 2097152+0 records out jw@ccs012:~> du -sh ddtest 2.0G ddtest jw@ccs012:~> uname -a Linux ccs012 2.4.10-64GB-SMP #1 SMP Fri Sep 28 17:26:36 GMT 2001 i686 unknown jw@ccs012:~> mount /dev/sda7 on / type reiserfs (rw) Does anyone know what the REAL deal is? -- ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Clickpatrol.com Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com
