Hello everyone,
2.4.4-pre5 started honoring the s_maxbytes field, so reiserfs needs a
patch to allow files > 4GB on 3.6.x format filesystems.
If you work with large files on reiserfs and are willing to try
the prerelease kernels (non-production), please give this a try,
it works for me but I'd like a few confirmations before I send to Linus.
This also prevents someone from using truncate to expand an old
format file past the 2GB mark.
