hi, I'm posting this issue here (just in case if anyone here has faced a similar issue) since i couldn't get any solution from the Linux forums.
I have a partition which holds a lucene <http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#> index file of size >2GB. This file is accessed thru' a SMB mounted share from other linux machines (running my web app.). The issue here is that when viewing the file (ls -al) thru' this SMB share, it shows an abnormal size & my application is not able to load this file. I'm reproducing the output of my ls -al command. # ls -al total 2145627826 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Feb 25 13:15 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jun 6 2005 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18446744071809180098 Feb 25 00:52 _11l.cfs -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4 Feb 25 00:52 deletable -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29 Feb 25 00:52 segments But when i telnet into this linux <http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#> machine & do an ls -al, the output is as below : # ls -al total 2340780 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 25 13:15 . drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 4096 Jun 6 2005 .. -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 2394595778 Feb 25 00:52 _11l.cfs -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 4 Feb 25 00:52 deletable -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 25 00:52 segments Hope i was able to describe the issue clearly. Any pointers or references will be helpful. tia jayakumar.v
