Storage drive problems

ope, although the file system claims its 3.6 and namesys's webpage
declares that file size limits are ludicriously large, on the order of
a terrabyte because of the page cache.  This actually matters because
in the future I might be buying myself a TV capture card, where these
things matter, as I suspect you know.

So, a bit of a status update. I did as BillC suggested and made a
single partition 200GB in size.  Strangely, I still get the same error
=(

Slightly different df  though (irrelevant parts cut out):

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1            195352432   4124212 191228220   3% /mnt/reiser

Cfdisk displays a single partition of type Linux ReiserFS, which seems
appropriate.  This is getting a bit annoying, copying things back and
forth to test a 4 gigabyte limit.   I didn't bother messing with the
block size this time, and just used a straightup 'mkfs.reiserfs
/dev/sda1' And I still get no space left after about 4 gigabytes!
