Hey!
Ok, so the plot thickens:
If I run this in a "oneclick 1.4" I will get a file write error on 2Gb:
| f b | f := StandardFileStream newFileNamed: 'test'. b := ByteArray new: 1024*1024*100. "100Mb" [30 timesRepeat: [f nextPutAll: b]] ensure: [f close] "3Gb"
...but it worked fine using a self built "standard" VM from squeakvm.org (4.4.7.2357)! Same image btw.
Now, does it work with the bleeding edge Cog? Tried r2556 and nope, same problem.
So I "guess" it is a Cog thing? I haven't tried building Cog from source.

Background on large file support, see especially Bert's summary:
http://forum.world.st/Re-squeak-dev-filesize-reporting-0-for-very-large-file... http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7522 http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html
I'm not sure if the Cog VMs are being compiled with the the LFS option, although I expect that if you compile it yourself with the build options that Bert explains, then it should start working.
I just committed the necessary changes for my branch. Will rebuild soon. G?ran, if you're in a hurry build your own? You'd need to be in http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/unixbuild/bld and run ./mvm. -- best, Eliot
Excellent :)
