Hi, I'm looking for hints on using > 2GB files.... I'm using a 2.4.3 kernel-image compiled from debian kernel-source package. After installing the corresponding kernel-headers deb I created, I have recompiled glibc (2.2.2-4) with a #apt-get --build source glibc then installed the created debs... #dpkg -i ./libc6-dev_2.2.2-4_i386.deb ./libc6_2.2.2-4_i386.deb ./locales_2.2.2-4_all.deb I then build fileutils, #apt-get -t testing --build source fileutils and install them, #dpkg -i ./fileutils_4.0.43-1_i386.deb
Unfortunately a #/bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=file2 bs=1024 count=3553600 gives me a "File size limit exceeded" I've tried this in ext2fs and reiserfs and have tried a --build source and install of their respective progs packages, recreation of filesystems but I still have the 2GB limit. Any ideas? What I should be checking? thanks, david
