Just as a tip for LFS testers, it is much easier to test with a sparse
file instead of waiting for 2GB to be written to disk:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./test.bigfile bs=1k seek=1023M
(this puts you just short of the 2GB limit in case your seek is broken).
Note that you should probably strace the failing "dd" command to ensure
it is opening the file with O_LARGEFILE. If not, it isn't a kernel
problem but a tool problem instead.
Cheers, Andreas
