:Hmmm ... I've thought files larger than 2 GB are supported since around
:2.2.5.
:Now I have a logfile of a apache server that is
:-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 2412880509 Mar 23 22:05 access.http.200003-01
:
:If I do
: $ less access.http.200003-01
: Cannot seek to that file position
:if I do
: $ tail access.http.200003-01
: tail: access.http.200003-01: Invalid argument
:and then tail just starts outputting the file starting at the first line.

:Has anybody else seen this problem or did I screw something up?

:Thanks,

The system supports files over 2GB fine, but obviously 'less' and 'tail'
do not.
A quick look at 'tail' shows that it is attempting to mmap() the entire
file, and this will obviosly fail since the address space isn't big
enough. So 'less' and 'tail' are broken.
