The problem is that if you want to create a cpio backup of a linux system 3.5GB (I did that to reformat a ext2 to a reiserfs) to an available fat32 space, in my case the backup size is allways 2GB and when I tried to extract back I saw "unexpected end of file". So I thought it was that famous kernel limitation of 2GB under any kind of partition, but i was informed that fat has this limitation too. So the kernel may suport files bigger than 2GB (I really don?t know, I just know that in my case with fat32 it did not and I saw this too with some oracle databases that could not be used when they grow and reach 2GB, may be a library problem too). That?s all. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Chua" To: "Andreas Dilger" Cc: "Marcelo Borges Ribeiro" ; "Tyler BIRD" ; Sent: Friday, November 23, 2001 12:35 AM Subject: Re: Filesize limit on SMBFS > On Thu, 22 Nov 2001, Andreas Dilger wrote: > > > VFAT does have a 2GB limit, AFAIK, but I could be wrong. > > Use "mkdosfs -F32" or use msdos fdisk,format to get >2GB. > > I'm using 3GB for VFAT partition. > > Jeff. > > > - > 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/ > - 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/
