It failed. I created one that was 2.1gb in size which worked. Then I appeneded more junk to the end of the file making it over 2.2gb. doing an ls -l shows: ls: x: Value too large for defined data type NOTE: this worked in 2.4.0-test6 and I believe it stopped working around test8, but I'm not sure. May have been around test7. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
