We did some experimenting and found that it's DB2 (V7) that has the 2G file size limitation and not the ext2 filesystem, I believe DB2 V8 will lift this restriction. We are probably going to use ext3, but I am still curious if anyone has any experience using JFS on zSeries Linux since it's IBM support team claims the Linux implementation outperforms ext3.

The ext3 file system does not have that limitation when running on a 2.6 kernel. In your place, I would be using ext3.

We only have Linux on zSeries and at SLES 7 with EXT2 there is a 2G file size limitation. I'm assuming EXT3 being EXT2 and journel would not get us over the size limit ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
