Not precisely sure where this should go - but I figure this is a likely list to try.
I have 2.4.0-test6 running here. I've recently installed a brand new 30 gig hd with an empty ext2 filesystem, and decided to try creating a file larger than 2 gigs on it.
uname -a: Linux eriador 2.4.0-test6 #1 SMP Sun Aug 20 17:09:04 EDT 2000 i686 unknown
File was created using: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/disk2/3gigfile bs=2048 count=1500000
Output of df: /dev/hdb1 29561392 3002956 25056764 11% /mnt/disk2
Output of ls -al: total 3002960 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 22 09:46 ./ drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Aug 22 06:26 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18446744072486584320 Aug 22 06:38 3gigfile drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Aug 21 00:57 lost+found/
That seemed to happen ~2 gig in size (I was making use of 'watch' at the time to watch the file grow). Someone mentioned that it would be right around the limit for a 32 bit integer.
Interestingly enough, perl's stat() returns -1222967296 bytes.
