Hrm... This is with 2.2.18:
[18:17:15] hogarth@theirongiant:/data>> dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1024 count=4000000 dd: testfile: File too large 2097152+0 records in 2097151+0 records out [18:21:07] hogarth@theirongiant:/data>> rm testfile [18:24:16] hogarth@theirongiant:/data>>
So it worked for me... Regardless though have you tried
>testfile rm testfile
?
