This problem was covered on lkml. Long story short, the udf module has a bug which often corrupted something (slab ?) in the kernel when writing file > 1Gb. The udf module maintainer imposed this limit with 2.6.17 to avoid harmful corruptions. He intends to write a proper fix for udf. But this fix is not trivial and it will take some time. Look for lklm archives if you want more details. Until then, we're stuck. Cheers -- Dominique Dumont "Delivering successful solutions requires giving people what they need, not what they want."
