I use Ext3. I don´t think that is a problem of the software, because it works fine with smaller files, it only crash with bigger than 2gb files. Also in the AIX server works fine with large files. How can I change the file size limits of the EXT3? Or how change the filesystem without lossing my data? Regards, Horacio Reyes.

Ext2 and Ext3 have a limit at about 2 GB. > Some other file systems can handle larger files. > Most likely the error message in their program is wrong, and they are hitting a memory addressing limit. *************************************************************************** Nota: La información transmitida a través de este correo electrónico es confidencial y está dirigida únicamente a su destinatario.
