[rhn-users] file size problems

[Geoff Sweet]

Well ext3 certainly has large file support.  I am trying to rack my
brain if there is a max filesize limitation that can be set either from
a user standpoint, or from an NFS standpoint.  Can you try creating a
large file with something like

dd if=/dev/zero of=/NFS_MOUNT/bob.huge bs=1024k count=3000

on the NFS share, and then again on the local machine?  That might help
determine if maybe NFS is limiting the file-size.  Just a thought for
trouble shooting

Subject: [rhn-users] file size problems

I just built two dual Opteron machines for a small cluster, with 4 GB of
ram 
each, a dedicated GB network layer 3 switch and about a TB of disk.

I put RHEL3 update 2, WS on the compute node and ES on the master.  All 
filesystems are ext3.

I loaded a 33GB file vi a ftp from another machine onto the cluster, and

had no issues, but when I did a cp from the master node local disk to
the
slave node local disk (mounted via NFS), I only got 2 GB of data moved,
and
an error message saying "File size exceeded".

What am I doing wrong?  This is a 64 bit OS on 64 bit processors.  Where
did 
this 3 GB file limit come from?  Is it in cp, NFS, ????

any help is appreciated.

thanks,
-chuck
