These file can be 2+gig in size. I have a problem with a 5.2G video file. Using fopen64(filename,"rb"): I can open the file on the local drive but over the NFS share the fopen64 fails. Smaller files do work both nfs and local. The ls command reports the proper files sizes from the nfs share (even the 5.2G file). Where should I start looking? Can I assume the problem is in nfsd and nfs or is this a deeper problem in the vfs. Regards, J. Deas
