I think the 2 GB file limitation was a red herring. Part of the problem was my own impatience. Had I been more patient, I would have seen that I could in fact make a file bigger than 2 GB. It just took an extra 90 seconds or so to get from 2 GB to 2.5 GB. Dunno why exactly. I have one slave using ext3 and the other slave using xfs. Will see if either or both come up with a problem again. Thank you for all the feedback thusfar. -- Regards... Todd We should not be building surveillance technology into standards.
