It could be a few things. The first is that the particular filetype (like early AVI, there apparently is a fix on Windows) is restricted to 2GB.
The second is that the program itself does not support "large file access". Here's some info on large file access: http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html Bascially, you either need to use the proper file calls (like open64), or compile your program with special flags. For something that I was developing at work (playing with DVB streams, which can be quite large) under Fedora Core 3, I needed to do this, otherwise I hit the 2GB file limit. Finally, your filesystem itself might have a 2GB file limit. This depends mostly on your kernel version it seems. -- Joe --- ffrr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Gargiullo wrote: > > > What file system are you using on the disk.
