Upon further inspection I have found that Octave does seem to have a
file size limit of 2GB. I tested my filesystem by creating a file using:
cat /dev/zero >> testfile
with which I was able to create files larger than 2GB.
I got the following error while running one of my scripts:
octave:25> noisegen
panic: File size limit exceeded -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
File size limit exceeded
And the file was exactly 2GB. This happens on both ext3 and FAT32
filesystems. I am running a 2.4.21 kernel.
