Deleting large files
Authored by: garywade on Oct 19, '07 01:08:57PM

The problem, as I've determined, is RAM-based. I had set up journaling some time back on my iBook that had 384 MB and would face kernel panics when I started doing some web browsing. My guess, since no one at LaCie (the maker of the hard drive) or Apple responded to my requests for assistance, was that when I accessed a file that was bigger than my RAM, the kernel panic happened.

And, with your posting that demonstrates the larger file size, I would imagine you've got a 2 GB system, which is why you don't get the
kernel panic until that point.
