That's not weird - Linux doesn't support large files yet. It will be a feature of the 2.4 kernel and it will need a lot of glibc support which still has to be written as well. >PS: This is to make bonnie behave right with files > 2GB. You'll have to wait for the 2.4 kernel and glibc 2.4.0 or so. Perhaps medio 2000. Or simply switch to a 64 bit architecture like the Alpha which doesn't have the silly 32 bits restrictions. Mike.
