My "ulimit -Ha" and "ulimit -a" both show unlimited for file size. Which is great -- I only have a 30Gb disk and I can have unlimited size files. Sorry. Monday morning insanity.
Can anyone explain why my hard file size limit is only 2M blocks? Can this be increased?
I would guess that the different between what you have an a default install is probably something in /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/* which is forcing the limit down.

Oops, I'd actually done a grep -r in /etc for 'ulimit', found nothing and forgot about it. Your pointer prompted me to look harder and I found the 'ulimit -f 2000000' in the ~/.bashrc I'd copied from a RH6.2 system. My bad.
Thanks, Doug
