Re: Debian max file size is 1GB instead of 2GB?
Well, lets see:
kadamski@krypton:~$ cat /dev/zero >xxx
cat: write error: File too large
kadamski@krypton:~$ ls -l xxx
-rw-r--r-- 1 kadamski users 2147482624 Jan 25 12:02 xxx
kadamski@krypton:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.0.33 (root@krypton) (gcc version 2.7.2.1) #6 Sun Dec 28 23:08:15 EST 1997
kadamski@krypton:~$ df .
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda2 3966376 2813561 947608 75% /
I remember doing this in 2.0.29 and getting only 1G for files, so
something changed in the newer kernel.
