Re: 2GB limit won't go away

[Chris Worley <chrisw@lnxi.com>]

I do have the line:

	/dev/worley/newsys  / reiserfs  conv,defaults 1  1

in my /etc/fstab (and reboot); it doesn't help.  Running:

	# dd if=/dev/zero of=./temp bs=1024 count=5242880

returns:

	dd: writing `./temp': File too large
	2097153+0 records in
	2097152+0 records out

Note that I am using SuSE's hybrid kernel that's shipped w/ 7.3.  I've
seen some messages say this might be the cause of the problem.

Thanks,

Chris
