Hi Ben,
following things:
logged in via gdm as user into gnome
opend a gnome-terminal
typed 'su -'
then
'fdisk /dev/hdb'
typed 'o' (kernel does handle it)
maked some partitions:
/dev/hdb1 1 10403 5243080+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 10404 14516 2072952 83 Linux
/dev/hdb3 14517 17637 1572984 83 Linux
/dev/hdb4 17638 77545 30193632 83 Linux
then
if I type mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1
it says: 'File size limit exceeded'
if I type mke2fs -j /dev/hdb3
everything goes fine
same behavior with sun disclabel
if i type 'ulimit -c unlimited'
it says after mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1
'File size limit exceeded (core dumped)'
any hints?
regards
