[Zope] Re: Largefile support error

[Eddie Parker]

Hello Josef!

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you:

Uname -a reports:

Linux server 2.2.20-idepci #1 Sat Apr 20 12:45:19 EST 2002 i686 unknown

But I'm not sure how to delve the info on my glibc version, and type of
filesystem (sorry, it's been a while).. Can you give me any information
on how to find this out? 

Thanks!

Which linux kernel, glibc, and filesystem do you have? I'm not a linux 
expert, but I know some old linux kernels, c libraries, and ext2 don't 
have large file support. Perhaps an linux kernel upgrade will solve it.

You could also tried to create a file greater than 2 Gb from the unix
shell:

dd if=/dev/zero of=big_file_test bs=1024 count=2600000

If everything goes well, you will see a 2.5Gb file called 
"big_file_test". On the contrary, you will see an error, which means 
that your debian really doesn't support large files. Indeed you will 
need to upgrade.

Regards,
Josef
