Thank you Michael.
A posting I found from May 2003 indicates that applications need to be compiled with LFS API support for files larger than 2G.
"Using the LFS API is pretty straightforward; it can be as simple as adding -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE to the C compiler options and recompiling."
So I assume this is: CFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE" ./configure
Does anyone know if this tip also applies when compiling the kernel itself or just to applications?
Is there a way to set this as a default option for all compiles so that I don't have to remember every time I compile something?
And finally, is there a way to see if a binary has been compiled with LFS? Something like "ldd" perhaps?
Thanks,
John

By default, what is the maximum file size? Where is this adjusted? I can't find it in the kernel config so is it a /proc setting?
2 TB with 4k blocks.
I don't believe this is adjustable.
