You say "change it back" as if that was the only change. It wasn't. The meaning changed in recent snapshots.
In fact, i created a snapshot 20110313++, where the only change wrt 20110313 was to replace 31*1024*1024 with PREFERRED_IO_BLKSIZE. Ok, the snapshot 20110313 failed with "File too large" on some machine (even the command `cat /dev/zero | wc` failed with that message), but i'm still not convinced that it is not BLODA's fault: - i have McAfee installed (cannot uninstall, sorry) - the failure was intermittent: - cat /dev/zero | wc always failed - cat file-of-32-Mb | wc: almost always failed - cat file-of-31-Mb | wc: failed less often - cat file-of-30-Mb | wc: failed about 50% of the time - smaller files: never failed - it never failed on a similar Windows XP (with more or less similar BLODA), i mean even with `cat /dev/zero | wc` Therefore, we definitely need more opinions. I've installed the last snapshot (2011-03-18 10:29:21) on both machines, no problems until now.
