I am getting bigger than 1 gig:

garfield /scratch$ cat /dev/zero > test
cat: write error: No space left on device
garfield /scratch$ ls -l
total 1433633
drwx------   4 jgoerzen jgoerzen     1024 Jan 19 13:19 jgoerzen
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root        12288 Dec 14 11:26 lost+found
-rw-rw-r--   1 jgoerzen jgoerzen 1462290432 Jan 26 20:46 test

Kernel 2.0.33, libc6.

This is well over a gig.

John
