I have tried the patchset and it works great for me. This limitation of Linux has bothered me almost since i started using Linux more than a decade ago (i remember having run into it when running a script on an overly large directory), and it's perhaps the oldest still existing userspace-visible limitations of Linux. It was also a really hard nut to crack. Kudos Peter! I really cant wait to see this in 2.6.23 :-) Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Ingo -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
