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
