Bob, what flavor of Linux are you using? I deal with large files all
of the time and have not seen this message. Below is from a Redhat 7.1 +
updates machine. Also what version of fileutils are you running? This
may have something to do with it.

Subject: [EUG-LUG:2930] Big files
I have a client that generates really big files while he's calculating
stuff.
These files can be 3 - 5 gigs or more. I upgraded his computer to
kernel
2.4.8 and ext3 to break the 2 gig barrior. He had to upgrade his
Fortran
compiler. Now he can make big files but when he tries to use ls to view
a
directory, he gets the message, "file too large".
Has any one seen ths and solved it?
Thanks
