Apparently, although I am using jfs which allows file sizes much bigger than 2GB, the shell imposes the 2GB limit when root is logged in via su (or ssh). From googling, it seems that the only solution is to login via root at the console, but that is not an easy option for me.


I've never heard of the shell doing this.  Get a real shell. :)  But seriously,
this sounds more likely to be a problem with your build of lvemux.  Make sure
that you build with large file support if you compile it.
(see http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html)

If you didn't compile it, but put in a package, the package is likely crap.  I
have never heard of a shell not allowing access to > 2G, that's insanity.  It
would be running as the same code on the console as in an SSH session.


Thanks. Recompiling lvemux with "gcc -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" did the trick. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
