Where on earth did you store this file? I could've sworn the ext2fs had a 2GB/file limit on it? Certainly all the file utilities do. It has to do with the file pointers being 32-bit signed integers. Nothing that uses a libc call is going to be able to read beyond 2^31 bits (which is exactly 2GB) on a 80x86 based system, e.g. Pentium/PentiumII/386/486 based systems.
====================================================== Does this mean that there is a 2gb limit on any individual file, or that the ENTIRE file system can't be larger than 2gb. If the latter than does that mean that a linux disk partition can't be larger than 2GB in size? My '/' partition is 4gb large. Am I throwing away the last 2gb? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
