I know that while evaluating Reiser FS for use on SourceForge we've
created files up to 4gb in size.
Some versions of reiserfs had a hack for this. Its not a good idea and Im
told its now been removed. If you grab the LFS patches for 2.2 from the
RH 6.2beta kernel rpms you'll be able to
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, so I apologize if it isn't.
Running intel RH6.1 with 18 gigs of drive space striped as RAID 0. Is there
a way to work with files larger than 2 gigs? I understand there is an issue
with 32 bit architecture, but I believe there are other OSes doing

that can handle large files?
