Hi, I'm running a benchmark program on Lenny that writes into a file and repeatedly exits once the filesize reaches 2,099,204 bytes. This is on ext3. $ ulimit -f unlimited $ uname -a Linux think 2.6.22-2-686 #1 SMP Fri Aug 31 00:24:01 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux This doesn't seem to be a problem for other programs. I have a VirtualBox snapshot as large as 2,587,808 bytes. Any hints as to what's going on? Please CC me, I'm not on the list. Thanks, André
What testing suite are you using for this? Have you tried to use dd to create a file larger than this? I'm going to guess what you are seeing here is file size limit of the application you are using rather than ext3.
