I'm using Zope with python and i'm having problems due to my Data.fs file is over 2GB. According to Python's Library Reference 8.1.1 I have to re-compile python with this sentence:
CC="-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" export CC ./configure
1- I'm using Red HAt Linux 6.2 How do I know if it's large-file-capable ? 2- How do I re-compile python as described in 8.1.1, there's any step-by-step guide ?

Is this true of all Zope/Python versions ( maximum data base file size of 2GB)???
AFAIK it isn't a python/Zope problem but a filesystem problem. I remember to have heard somewhere that Ext2 (the filesystem that Linux uses) only support a file size of 2 GB. Perhaps some of the guru's inhere can correct me if I am wrong. The solution to this problem - I think - may be to switch your filesystem from Ext2 to ReiserFS. Regards, Gitte Wange
