I think this depends on the filesystem type you're saving to. I've done tests on JFS using dd where I was able to make 10+ GB files. I can't say definitively but if you're saving to EXT2/3 you might be running into a size limitation on that filesystem. That's probably why you want XFS, huh? :) Zach ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aly Dharshi" <aly.dharshi@xxxxxxxxx> To: <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 2:59 PM Subject: 2GB limit on files ? > Hi Folks, > > I hope that you are well, I am trying to download a DVD iso for SGI-XFS > from ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/linux/RH-XFS-DVD/ and I get the error File > size limit exceeded error. > > Is 2GB the upper limit for files in a 32 bit system ?
