Re: File System Limitations

[Fred <fred@arkansaswebs.com>]

I tried dd (GNU fileutils) 4.0.36 (redhat 7.1)
and compiled and installed dd (fileutils) 4.1

still 
[root@bits /a5]# /usr/fileutils/bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=./tgb count=4000 bs=1M
File size limit exceeded (core dumped)
[root@bits /a5]# ls
total 2098436
      8 drwxr-xr-x    7 root     root         8192 Aug 23 22:07 .
   1120 -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      1146880 Aug 23 22:07 core
2097152 -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root     2147483647 Aug 23 22:07 tgb

no errors in /var/log/messages


some system info
amd k6-II 500
256 MB ram
Ali 1541/3 chipset
WD 20GB 7200 rpm and WD 13GB 540 rpm on one cable
kernel-2.4.9
/a5 directory above is /dev/hda5 a vfat partition (is this the problem?)



TIA
Fred
