I don't think that is the case under Linux with a 64-bit userspace. Someone on this list (Bill?) had indicated it worked to have large files on ext2 under 64 bit architectures. Sadly, that excludes UltraSPARC, because its user-space is still 32 bit, but I guess this limitation doesn't exist on Alpha, Itanium, or PA-RISC, but you may still need a 2.4 kernel for Itanium if you are to use that as a platform. Next year, my company is likely to migrate our ZEO Storage Servers to an intel architecture from Linux/Sparc, and will likely use ReiserFS at that time, since it has been in the mainsteam 2.4.1+ kernels, and is reported to be stable on IA32...

hmmm... isn't a filesystem limit? what fs are you using?
No I don't think so. We are using ext2 but the problem could be the python interprenter as Andreas mentioned ..
Not sure about that. If you're using ext2 and a Kernel < 2.4.x or a fIlesystem created under a Kernel < 2.4.x, you're quite out of luck, sorry to say that.
