I don't think it is the kernel (unless, it's due to a specific configuration option in the kernel?) I tried it on 2.0.33 and 2.1.78, same result on both: lilu# ls -l xxx -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1073741824 Jan 25 15:36 xxx lili# uname -a Linux lili.eecs.umich.edu 2.1.78 #1 Wed Jan 21 06:44:08 EST 1998 i686 unknown Does anyone have any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix the problem for those of us stuck at the 1GB limit? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
