Package: qemu
Version: 0.7.0-2
Severity: important
Hi
I've run into a problem using qemu with large-disk images. I recently
created an 8 gigabyte image file using the qcow format and attempted to
install Windows 2000 on it. All seemed to be going well until qemu suddenly
crashed with a "File size limit exceeded" error. This seemed to happen on
the 2 gigabyte boundary. Obviously this is a significant problem when
attempting to emulate modern day operating systems.
Admittedly, I don't know much about this issue, but I've heard that there is
a compiler option that permits read/write access for larger files over this
size. Therefore, it may be possible that this issue could be solved in this
manner.
Hope this information helps.
Regards,
Barrie

So, consider this "solved". ;)
