Unfortunality I don't know what this 'about' depends on.
That would refer to the Reiserfs 3.5 format, which is limited to 2GB max file sizes. If you use 2.4, and have never used a 2.2 reiserfs kernel, then you probably have the 3.6 format that has a much larger limit. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
