Hello,
I keep getting this error and I can't seem to get to the bottom of it ;/
What I am trying to accomplish is to join 2 .wav files into one file that
exceeds 2 GB.
I am running Gentoo Linux w/ 2.4.19-pre7 kernel, OSS Pro Drivers, and have
attempted to join the files with Audacity and Ecasound.
At first I thought that the filesystem (ext3) was the issue, so I switched
to reiserfs. Then I suspected maybe Audacity somehow had a 2GB limit, so I
tried joing the files using Ecasound.. still to no avail ;(
Next I searched the web and came up with a suggestion to change the values
in /proc/sys/fs/file-max, but no dice. I created these wav files using the
"record" utility (included w/ OSS Pro) to capture a DAT recording from the
SPDIF input. The wav files are otherwise fine. Oh.. and I do have Gigs and
Gigs of Freespace.
Also worth noting is that I can create a file larger than 2GB using:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/2gb_test_file
So it seems that its not the filesystem.
Any ideas?
