hm, if there is a 2gb limit on file size, then i wonder if it still be
impossible to recombine the pieces into the 3gig size on the new
filesystem? if so will it even be usable?
having never used reiserfs, can't tell ya is it has a 2 gb limit.
maybe there is a FAQ somewhere. the source of inode.c mentions
something about a 2GB limit:
linux-2.4.5/fs/reiserfs/inode.c:
263:// files which were created in the earlier version can not be
longer,
264:// than 2 gb
whatever that means ??
standard stuff like ls -l works on the file, right? if not then it
could be the libc is old or compiled without large file support or
the GNU fileutils is old. i don't think that's the case, though
because i think you mentioned cp works, just bails at > 2gb.
