Hi, Our Zope Version is 2.4.3 and Python 2.1, but our Linux Filesystem can?t work with files >2GB, this is the Problem! And there must be a reason that the data.fs increase, though nobody works on Zope...! But what?? And if our Filesystem can work with files >2GB there is anywhere a limit where the system can work. In a Year the Data.fs will reach the 6GB limit? We need a solution for our Data.fs, that it will not reach the 2GB limit.
Regards Steven :)
If you upgrader your glibc and your kernel then it can go over 2GB just fine. The limit is not the filesystem but glibc and the kernel. Overall a newer dist will take care of this automatically but even with ext2 if you upgrade glibc, the kernel, and compile python with large file support you should be fine.
