hi,
So to have a Data.fs larger than 2GB I need:
1. To re-compile python w/ large file supprt. 2. Use the 2.4.x Linux Kernel. 3. Pray.

Sorry, not quite correct ... you could use ext2 as well since its fully LFS-compliant. ext2 itself was never the problem, but (as someone had already pointed out in here) the VFS-layer in Linux (which was heavily influenced by i386-architecture -> 32bit). But you should not mix up systems with LFS (large file support) an such withpout (e.g. Linux 2.2.). The 2.2 based System will be able to read from large files, but nothing more. Perhaps you might have a look at: http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html for some more details (esp. in respect to the C-libs used). ta -------------------------------------------------------------------------- smartferret it-consulting Dipl.-Ing.
