Bob,
I believe that large file support was added in the 2.4 kernel. Not sure what apps will work with 2 Gb files, but I could copy one from my HP-UX box and try it. Let me know if you want me to try.

Subject: [EUG-LUG:2560] BIG FILES
Hi,
I'm talking to a guy about a new workstation running Redhat. It might have a
striped, mirrored set of drives totaling 320 gigs for capacity and throughput. He
does some heavy arithmatic and uses most of this to hold temporary files that could
be 5 - 10 gigs in size. The computer he has now runs into the 2 gig limit. Has
this limit been elimiated? Has anyone generated a 3 gig file and run less, cat or
more on it?
Thanks.
