Hi All,

I have just installed xfs for linux on my RedHat 7.1 with the
2.4.3-SGI_XFS_1.0.1 kernel.  All has gone well except that I encounter a 4 GB
(4194624 k reported from df -k)  file size limit on an 15 GB xfs filesystem
rather than essentially unlimited size.  I have played around with a fe
tuning options but always get the exact same limit each time.  No errors pop
up in any logs.  My test program just keeps writing as if nothing is wrong
but the file stops growing after 4194624 k has been written in the sequential
file.

That should not happen. It should work beyond 4GB.
I can create a 40GB file without problems.

I don't recall seeing this problem with the 1.0.1 release.

Any hints as to what may be wrong and/or how to fix this would be greatly
appreciated as 4 GB is not enough?

You could try the newer 2.4.9-6 RPMs that are available on the FTP site under /projects/xfs/testing/

Cheers

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.
