Hi,
one more addition:
I used mysqldump to dump some big database, and here's something weird:
jerboas:/mnt# ls -la
total 372024
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Sep 19 16:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Sep 19 11:32 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 380946064 Sep 19 16:35 Celegans.sql
jerboas:/mnt# ls -la
ls: Celegans.sql: Value too large for defined data type
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Sep 19 16:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Sep 19 11:32 ..
[1]- Done /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -hlocalhost -P3306 -upedant Celegans >Celegans.sql
jerboas:/mnt# ls -la
ls: Celegans.sql: Value too large for defined data type
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Sep 19 16:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Sep 19 11:32 ..
jerboas:/mnt#
Running `mc' in this directory says:
File 'Celegans.sql' exists but can not be stat-ed: Value too large for defined data type
It's on freshly made reiserfs filesystem, if it helps.
Sep 19 16:32:28 jerboas kernel: reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 03:41) ...

The source mysql directory on reiserfs on different disk, has 1693948 kB
(multiple files). In the /mnt it should the dump be all in one file, also
on reiserfs. The machine has 1GB RAM, SMP kernel, HIGHMEM enabled.
