I have a major problem here at the moment. I have been doing a lot of video editing recently, and the problems I have been hitting are related to file storage. Basically my server has about 100Gig's of free space, but the local workstation only has about 10. As I happen to be setting some files up for when I get my own DVD burner, I need to put these files somewhere...
This is where I hit a problem. The ext2 filesystem happens to have a 2Gb limit for filesizes, so first problem hit there. Then after upgrading the kernel in the server to a 2.4 kernel (2.4.17) I changed the storage partition to using reisferfs... now I can create large files and store them on the server locally, but anytime (and any method) I try to send the files to the server the server kills the file at exactly 2gb in size. Now I have tried dumping via NFS (using windows NFS systems *shudder*), ftp, and even samba, but all of these drop dead at the 2gb limit. Samba refuses to even try sending the file. I am sure I am not the only person to have run into this issue, but I need to solve it. So any help would be appreciated. I cannot believe that windows can do some file storage system better than Linux, and at the moment that is what it seems to be. If I cannot solve this issue, then I will need to switch system on this server. Thanks in Advance, Cassandra
