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. Check the list-archives for further infos.
Sorry but will you please explain that ??
We are using Mandrake 8.0 on our server so yes we have a kernel > 2.4.x running ... And our filesystem is created under that kernel ..
OK. I have absolutly no experience with Mandrake, so I can't tell, what they're doing ... But as far as I can see from what you've written, you should not run into troubles as far as the OS is concerned.
I _guess_, if you're following Anreas' advice and reinstall Python with LFS, everything should be fine.

Well we just looked into the sources of python and looked at the configure file ... and it has a check whether the system it runs on supports LF ... and this one returns with a big NO ! :-((((
Is there someway I can test if our system supports LFS ???
I have not yet set up large file support. But you could try it and see... First, see if you have more than 2 GB available space on the drive. Then try this: dd if=/dev/zero of=big_file_test bs=1024 count=2200000 If all is well, that should take a few minutes and leave you with a file a little over 2 GB. If dd exits with an error, then your system is not set up for large files. remove big_file_test when done, of course. I don't have Mandrake, don't know what they do by default, but you may have to: 1) compile a new kernel with large file support (look in the filesystem options during make xconfig or make menuconfig) 2) make a new filesystem with large file support (read man mke2fs). I think you need at least version 1.20 of mke2fs. hope that helps, PW -- ................ paul winkler ................ custom calendars: http://www.calendargalaxy.com A member of ARMS: http://www.reacharms.com home page: http://www.slinkp.com
