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 On Sun, 2002-06-09 at 05:32, Rafael E.
