Subject: LFS/non-LFS error handling

Dear all,
If my fs don't support LFS (files larger than 4GB), what should I set in
my sb->s_maxbytes? In kernel 2.4.2 , I have experieced if not set the
s_maxbytes generic_file_write() will fail, but for later version of
kernel I simply leave it unset, so far I don't have any problem. If it
is wrong, what should s_maxbytes=? . Since this behaviour changes across
kernel version, is there a standard implemenation?
Since it still work for me for not setting the s_maxbytes, it seems to
me there is a potential risk of data corruption at limit points, because
don't know who to handle the over flow situation, does this handle by
VFS? or I have to take care myself? Thanks.
regards,
David
