I think maybe it depends on the glibc version, or perhaps the kernel version. I'm using a 2.4.17 kernel and glibc 2.2.4. If the 2 gig limit "definately applies to ext2", then how did I create the above 3 gig file on an ext2 partition? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
