You have to use the right interfaces to get beyond 2GB (e.g. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64), though. Recompiling glibc cannot make this the default. You'd change the size of all kinds of data types after which I doubt you can reboot the system. -- --------------. ,-. 444 Castro Street Ulrich Drepper \ ,-----------------' \ Mountain View, CA 94041 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `---------------------------
