BTW., does the 2GB limit for files still apply for ext2 (mounted on FreeBSD, obviously)? I think I encountered this on 5.2.1 when ext2 was commented out from the kernel Makefile (as module) and marked as "broken" but I needed it (this was when I also encountered that "won't clean buffers" problem in the same way as the OP.) mkb.
