There seem to have been a misunderstanding regarding my last message on
this list.
I was referring to the partition size, as Shlomi posted that large files
were possible, but wasn't sure about the partition size.
I also tried creating a >2GB file on one of my ReiserFS partition, and it
stopped on the 2GB boundary. I'm not sure if that is due to a kernel
limitation (as Shlomi indicated), or a filesystem limitation, but I just
thought I should report it. (I'm using a 2.4.2 kernel)
Hope this helps to clear things out,
