My nightly tar based backup to an IDE disk also failed, as the archive file exceeded the 2GByte size. It appears, that the 2G file size limit is still there. I cannot create files larger than 2G using tar, cat or dd. E.g.: [root@mail /root]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test count=2048 bs=1M dd: writing `test': File too large 2048+0 records in 2047+0 records out [root@mail /root]# ls -l test -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2147483647 Nov 24 17:03 test I have the same results on a SME5 with 20G IDE disk and on SME5 with 33G Dell PERCRAID5. Both tests were run on the / file system Regards, Michael Weinberger -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
