Well it tests ok for a 500 MB file. I believe stat and dd work above 2GB, but haven't tested. OK, just tested on a 3.4GB DVD iso. (3447975936-10) ==> dd quits at 2147479552 bytes. Seems like maybe bs has a 2GB limit? ..and all the io does impact the X interface latency! Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
