OK, I did some more checking, and it's not a filesystem limitation. I have a 2.5GB tar file of my depot and it fits just fine. The error happened when db.have grew to 2147483647bytes, which is about 1.99999GB. That's why I thought it might be a filesystem limit. Here's the error message, could I just have a bad checkpoint file?

Recovering from checkpoint.359.gz... Perforce server error: Journal file 'checkpoint.359.gz' replay failed at line 8697767! Database write error on db.have! dbput: db.have: Success Error allocating new node

I'm testing a migration from NT to Linux. The test system is RedHat 7.2 with ext3 filesystem. Everything was going well until I hit the 2GB file size limit when I was restoring db.have from the checkpoint.

What gives? I thought that the 2GB limit goes away with kernel 2.4. Any advice?

And please don't tell me to use Solaris, that's a discussion for another time.
