I have my xbox setup with Slayers evox and Gentoox Home 3.1.
I want to use Linux as a file server (mainly for large images) but when I try to upload an image over 4GB I get an error through Samba stating the the network drive is no longer available. A similar thing happens when trying to FTP (i.e. it uploads about 4GB and then resets and starts over at the beginning of the file when FTP'ing).
My questions are:
1)Does Gentoox loaded from evox (f: drive) use the ext2 file system?
2)What is the single file size limit under the ext2fs?
3)If there is a limit, is there a way to change it?
File size limitations
Hi
What installation type did you chose?
If you have chosen 1 or 2, then your linux runs in a so called loopback filesystem.
An other part of the install decription says:
Wich is the answer to your question if you have chosen 1 or 2 for installation type.

What installation type did you chose?
Code: Select all
1.1 - Installation types and their requirements
There are now 3 installation types, E, F, Native. 'E' is the traditional installation where all the files are placed in E:. 'F' places 'rootfs' and 'swap' on the F: partition but leaves the other files in E: (required for Cromwell/ Xromwell support).
'Native' formats your F: partition to reiserfs and then extracts the rootfs to the newly formatted partition.
An other part of the install decription says:
Code: Select all
The advantage of a 'native' install is that drive access is a lot faster and puts a lot less strain on the system (loopback filesystems require a large amount of system resources when being accessed). Also, you wont be limited to the 3GB rootfs filesize, your filesystem will be as big as your F: partition is.
