Re: 2GB limit on files ?

The funny thing is that I am using Reiserfs that came with the Fedora CD's. I thought that Reiserfs would support this. Is there possibly a switch for this ????

Cheers,

I think this depends on the filesystem type you're saving to.  I've done

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? :)

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 ? How can I
circumvent this ?

Cheers,

Aly.
