Hello,

I am trying to serialize data using boost::archive::xml_oarchive. When the resulting file is larger than 2GB, I get an error saying "File size limit exceeded". I am using gcc version 3.2.2. I was wondering if there is a way to use ofstream with boost::archive::xml_oarchive to write files larger than 2GB using gcc version 3.2.2.

Does the underlying filesystem support >2GB files? Many don't by default. Can you create a large file (using dd, for example) in the shell?
