You really shouldn't be running a 2.4.16 kernel (not without the latest security patches for such a kernel from a distro) given the amount of secur= ity issues fixed since... and since I don't think any distro ever shipped 2.4.16 (some shipped 2.4.17, a bunch shipped 2.4.18 but even RH doesn't do patches for that 2.4.18 tree anymore since they have been obsoleted by 2.4.20 and newer kernels). > > However we also never released a 2.4 kernel with the large BLOCK patch. > > All 2.4 kernels we shipped can do files > 2 Gb of course. >=20 > But you wouldn't be able to handle file systems larger > than 2TB then I presume? correct. --yEPQxsgoJgBvi8ip Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/6VL+xULwo51rQBIRAs6UAJwJwUL3HGg2bfI/7kGo7VqBCm2+wACgkos3 G3zu+vdJnDad7Ga56uHAs1w= =f0f7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --yEPQxsgoJgBvi8ip--
