In a cynical attempt to get back to the top of the list I'm replying too
my own post.

I still don't understand why any of the above limits would create a
problem when I'm trying to record a wav file that would be 500k at most.

I have updated to a newer Kernal but it doesn't seem to have made any
differance.

How would I go about increasing the file size limit ?
Why does it need so much space to create a wav in linux.

Appolgies for my persistance.
