For the record, the 2GB limit I was hitting was from the FAT32 Samba share.

Does ext3 have this same issue? Which file systems can handle | |I could be wrong, but I think you'd run up against a 2gb limit regardless |of filesystem, because the library calls for lseek() which are used to |position to a point in the file have capacity for only long values (4 |bytes) and 2gb is the biggest number you can put in a long (signed, |that is). Whether support exists for unsigned long (4gb) I don't know. | |Anything much greater than that and one needs support for 'long long' |(64 bit) types. I figure we won't be needing anything greater than |that anytime soon :). | |> Ashley | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ����������������������������������������������������������������������� David L.
