Well I used wget to try and download the iso, which has failed a couple of times. I tried the same wget command on a Solaris 8 box and it seems to work just fine, post that a copy to the Fedora box worked just fine and even the mounting (iso mounting) worked A-Okay. I wonder what the issue is/was ?

What program did you use to try to download it?
I haven't had much problem since the era of the 2.2 kernel when, even though the kernel supported larger files, many programs hadn't been updated yet to support them.

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 ????

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? :)

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.
