Re: 2gig File Limit

Hi,

I am having a problem creating a disk image larger than 2gig's with dd.  I'm
using sid(up-to-date), my kernel is debian's 2.4.20-k7, and my filesystem
that the file needs to be on is reiserfs.  I've looked around (googling) to
see about the 2gig limits, and it seems like I've got all the right versions
of my kernel/reiser/etc.  Is there something else I'm missing?

My output looks like this:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=2gigtest
dd: writing to `2gigtest': File too large
4194305+0 records in
4194304+0 records out
2147483648 bytes transferred in 106.708356 seconds (20124794 bytes/sec)


Thanks,

Justin

I have the same problem with mkisofs with a 2.8GB file.
Still waiting.
