[ILUG] File size limit exceeded

[ILUG] File size limit exceeded

Can anybody help with the above error.

I have narrowed the problem down to the following.
Please read the full message before jumping to the obvious conclusion!


I have a small and very simple c++ (About as basic as it can get)
that will write an amount of data to a file the size is supplied as
command line arguments.

If I specify a file size of under 2G everything is fine.
However If I specify a size over 2G I get the error File size limit
exceeded.

I have tried this on two different systems.

A RH7.2 box with the 2.4.7 enterprise kernel as supplied by RH

And on a Debian Woody box with a custom 2.4.13 kernel.

If I recompile the C++ program to write to stdout instead of a file and
then pipe the output into a file everything is fine.
I have a file above 2G.

Anybody have any ideas.

Oh it is a ReiserFS on top of LVM if that makes a difference.
And it is a 3.6.x version of reiserFS so it doesn't have the @G limit
that the 3.5.x versions had.
