Is there a reason why there is a 3 GB barrier on persistence
with ext3?
Am I just banging my head trying to figure a way around it?
I'm guessing that the USB thumbdrives are formatted with vfat and that limits
the max filesize?
TYL,
Hi Scott,
I wipe and reformat with ext3.
And it does sound like someone put an artificial 3 GB
barrier into it to accommodate max single file size
limitation of FAT.
With the following on a 16 GB ext3 stick:
livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 13287
Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-21-5.iso /dev/sdc1
It will tell you the max "--overlay-size-mb" is 13287 if
you tell it something larger than it likes.
But, even when adjusted to make the stinker happy, you
still get 3 GB.
So, basically, is this a bug? And, has it been fixed
anywhere?
