I thought this was no longer a problem as of the 2.4 kernels, but: I'm having problems creating a file larger than 2 gigabytes (2^31 bytes). I'm doing this on a Reiser partition. I'm running Debian unstable with kernel 2.4.19-rc1. First I was backing things up, and tar choked when the tarball hit 2GB. Thinking that perhaps it was a tar problem, I took a file that's over a gigabyte (call it "fred"), copied it a file called "huge", then tried this: cat fred >> huge ...which would create a >2GB file, and hoped that would somehow get around the problem, but it didn't. :( The reiser website says that it'll handle files that are something like 17.6TB. Is this a problem with tar or cat or something? Thanks, Dan -- if the U of M made .sigs: "This .sig under construction, expected completion date: March 2002."
