Another plea about Large File Support
Hi, The system I'm working on is Debian 2.2 (potato) with a ReiserFS 3.5 partition on it. I'm assured that on this setup, I should be able to have files of up to 4GB in size, currently I get barfage at exactly 2GB :-( What do I need to do to get Python 1.5.2 and Python 2.1 compiled in such a way that I can have a Data.fs bigger than 2GB? Is there anything I need to do to either Zope 2.3.2 or Zope 2.4.0 to make this work in addition to having Python compiled with Large File Support? cheers, Chris

Hi Chris, when building python, check this out: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/posix-large-files.html Bill

I did, but I hear rumours that its inaccurate, and my experiments so far back that up ;-) Have you used those instructions? If so, is there anything I'm likely to be missing? cheers, Chris

Unfortunatly ReiserFS 3.5 seems to be unable to use Linux LFS :-( You should use ReiserFS 3.6 [From http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html ...] ReiserFS 3.5.x (not part of the kernel, separate patch) Does not support LFS ReiserFS 3.6.x (part of kernel 2.4.1 and newer) Full support for LFS if the new on disk format is used. This format is incompatible to the format used by 3.5.x (see below for some more details). [...] Note for ReiserFS Chris Mason wrote: Disks formatted with the current 2.2 code are called our 3.5 disk format. They will not support large files under any kernel (even the 2.4 code). But, you can mount a 3.5 disk format under the 2.4 kernel code, and use -o conv. This will turn on large file support for the old disks, but only new files will be allowed to grow past 2GB. Once you mount with -o conv, you can't mount under 2.2 any more. We are testing a back port of the LFS disk format to 2.2, it should be ready soon. It has the same -o conv mount option that our 2.4 code has, so all the same rules will apply.
