The installed tree (/pkgs/zsh-3.1.5/{bin,man,..}) was then installed on several nodes. (I'm pointing this out but I don't believe it is relevant - I hope) The following command "cat /dev/zero > junk" was found to stop writing to the file junk when it reached 2 GB in size. Using /bin/ksh with the same command on the same VxFS file system (with large file support turned on) resulted in the command running until it filled up the disk (there was 6GB remaining on the disk). Having recently compile a dew GNU tools I notice they turn on large file support durring compilation. I hope this bug report is useful and not a repeat Regards, Peter PS: I'm not on the mailing list ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter Bray Email : Peter.Bray@Aus.Sun.COM Sun Professional Services Phone : +61 2 9466 9456 Ground Floor - 33 Berry Street Fax : +61 2 9466 9411 North Sydney NSW 2060 Australia URL : http://www.sun.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
