Unfortunatly it's an x86 problem, as somebody alluded to eariler - ext2 can have MUCH larger file size, but the kernel is using 32bits in the VFS code above ext2, limiting a single file to 2 gig. 64 bit systems (e.g. Alpha) dont have that limitation. There is supposed to be a patch out there to

He said, "Two of my runs ended with the wonderfully informative message 'System error: Input/output error'." I don't know exactly how his program works, but I suspect it calculates a set of numbers and appends them to a file then goes to the next set. As you can see below, it takes about 12 h

File size limit?

2000-08-16 Thread Bob Crandell
Here is a message from one of my clients. He is running Mandrake 6.0 on a dual Pentium 233 with two 36 gig drives. It seems that I've hit a limit on file size. Do you recall anything related to that when installing the big disks? Two of my runs ended with the wonderfully informative message "
