Subject: Big file support in Linux 2.2
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 11:30:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <85256985.00556CD3.00@SMTPNotes1.ma.lycos.com> (raw)



Hello,

For one of our projects here, we've crashed head first into the 2 gig file size
limitation in Linux 2.2 kernels. While I know that this has been solved in
2.3/2.4, has there been any work to backport this feature into a Linux 2.2
kernel? I'm looking for a temporary solution until we can move to Linux 2.4
directly, but obviously not until after it's been "really" released. :)

Yes, I know this is likely to be relatively unstable. (Probably almost as
unstable as running a 2.4-pre kernel in production), but at least it would give
us a start.

Thanks for your help,

Joe
