well, sure, indexed, of course. but that's what i mean: most of this stuff
is data that has flown by meanwhile. i don't want to lose all these
answers i have for others. ;-) i've downloaded some very big files, so
this is where all this stuff comes from.

hmpf. doesn't sound good to me. i believe this is an fs limitation as i
had a similar phenomenon recently with a gnunetd-loglevel-9-logfile that
had grown very quickly. it stopped growing exactly at 2 GB. :-(

does anyone know if any of the filesystems linux can use doesn't have this
limitation? i could easily reformat the partition if that was the case.
