[rhn-users] 2GB Filesize Limit

[Marco Wertejuk]

Hi,

| I was wondering if the Redhat Enterprise kernels have the patches that allow
| files larger than 2GB to be created. We're about to set up a database on a 
| Linux machine running RHEL 3 AS using the ext3 filesystem.

according to my experience with RHEL it's going to work
if your application supports it (i.e. linked to the
correct libraries).

Most tools like binutils don't have problems handling
2GB or greater files but if the application doesn't
support them, you'll get problems.

You surely have to test it though I think you should not
experience problems as rhel3 certified databases should
handle this correctly.
