I recently tried creating a 3 gigabyte file on one of my ext2fs partitions and it worked fine. I'm not sure what the new limit is. The system is RedHat 7.0 with all the current bugfix updates (including glibc 2.2.4), plus a custom-compiled 2.4.17 kernel. This has been discussed a lot on the samba mailing list. It seems to still be a problem with some distributions and not with others, and no one's quite sure what the deciding factor is. It's easy enough to test by dd'ing a few billion bytes from /dev/zero into a file, though. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
