that would mean all data that i haven't inserted myself would be lost,
wouldn't it? :-(

but, one thing: i saw the following now:

address@hidden data]$ ll
total 2099084
drwxrwxr-x    2 zottel   zottel       4096 Aug 10 18:42 content
-rw-------    1 zottel   zottel   2147480617 Sep 27 00:52 content.gdb

drwxr-xr-x    2 zottel   zottel       4096 Sep 26 23:28 hosts

content.gdb has exactly the size of 2G. wasn't that the limit for a single
file on an ext2/ext3 fs? to me it seems as if filesize was the problem
rather than anything else. comments?
