the 2GB file size limit is not an OS limit on linux: it is a limit on the Ext2 file system. several journalling file systems for linux offer max. file sizes beyond 2GB (at least in theory). check out reiserfs, xfs etc.
It is not a limitation of ext2, but a limitation of the VFS layer in the 2.2 kernels. The 2.4 series fixes this. -- Petru Paler, mailto:ppetru@ppetru.net http://www.ppetru.net - ICQ: 41817235
