Thanks for the reply.

I assume you mean that to get files >1GB I need to be
using 4k block sizes.

I hadn't thought of that, but it turns out that I already
am using 4k blocks.

eg a disk with 4k block size on a machine that will only
write a 1GB file - if I then nfs export to a machine that will
write a file >2GB on its own file systems, the disk will now
accept files >2G when written by the other machine.
So it doesn't seem to be a function of the filesystem.

All machines are using e2fsprogs v1.32 from Nov 2002

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Joe
