Titel: problem with unpacking big files

When I try to unpack a big file like 5GB from a number of rarfiles it fails. When I use Ark it stops with a failmessage, when I use Xarchive Manager it looks like it works but the ouput is a file wich is only exactly 2Gb in size. I have the files on a Reiserfs partition, if that can be to any help

Use

unp archive

or

unrar x archive.rar

and get this:

Extracting archive.r42

... archive.img File size limit exceeded

I tried to copy a big file to this specific partition with reiser fs and I'm not allowed to get over 2 Gb so the fault is not the unpacking programs it's the partition, but Reiser fs shall be able to take bigger files or?

run this command and see the output: df -h
I would guess that it will report that the partition is too small

also check cfdisk /dev/hda or whatever drive it is, and see what cfdisk says for each partition.

df -h reports 172G used 2.1

I have repartioned some of the harddisk I have formated and reformated the partition to REISERFS

cfdisk shows:

Zitat:

hda4 Primary Linux ReiserFS 184312.08

Still I cant copy a file bigger than 2Gb to it, I can easily put smaler files up to an amuont bigger than the big file so there are space.

fdisk shows

Are you really sure you do that on hda4 not hda3?

I have solved the problem.

Please don't hit me but I used Windows to repartion my harddisk, Verlegen

Paragon HarddiskManager, I used that because I wanted to resize some partitions with the files on them untuched (usually works good) but apparently doing a ReiserFS partition with this program makes it someway wrong, also my root partition is resized by Paragon HarddiskManager so I'm now running Kanotix on a maybe messed up filesystem. I shall anyway start from zero when Keno release his next next stabil release so taht will be repared then.

Yesterday I tried with only reformating the ReiserFS partition from kanotix but this didn't help so today I used cfdisk to remove hda3 and hda4, restart, used cfdisk to create two new partitions, restart then mkreiserfs /dev/hda4, restart and now it works!!!

Sorry everybody that I used your time with messing up my Kanotix with Windows and thanks for your help.

Anyway with this solved I can use Kanotix for everything so Windows is finaly redused to a gaming plattform. Sehr glücklich
