Hi! I'm been trying to download the DVD ISO for FC2. But I've run into a problem. It isn't possible for me to download more than 2GiB. Other people have been having the same problem (see the d4x message board). I haven't been able to trace the exact cause for the limit "ulimit -f" reports unlimited and I'm running reiserfs with 3.6 format filesystem (in theory supports much more than 2GiB). I've tried programs d4x, wget etc., each of them have received a SIGXFSZ and exited at 2GiB.
Strangely I am able to create much larger files with dd.
This sounds like a similar bug to one that was fixed in 2.4, where the limit was always 2GiB unless logged in directly as root. However in this case even that doesn't work.
kernel 2.6.7-ck1 glibc 2.3.3-27 (fedora core) bash 2.05b-38 (fedora core)
Any other info on request.
