Try this patch and let me know how it goes. You'll have to specify the file name of /sys/gnu/ext2fs/ext2_inode_cnv.c to patch(1) manually, then either buildkernel or rebuild only ext2fs.ko. If the file shows up with the correct size in a directory listing, make sure you can actually read data past 4 GB. ==== //depot/user/tjr/freebsd-tjr/src/sys/gnu/ext2fs/ext2_inode_cnv.c#1 - /p4/tjr/src/sys/gnu/ext2fs/ext2_inode_cnv.c ==== @@ -77,6 +77,8 @@ */ ip->i_mode = ei->i_links_count ? ei->i_mode : 0; ip->i_size = ei->i_size; + if (S_ISREG(ip->i_mode)) + ip->i_size |= ((u_int64_t)ei->i_size_high) << 32; ip->i_atime = ei->i_atime; ip->i_mtime = ei->i_mtime; ip->i_ctime = ei->i_ctime; @@ -112,6 +114,8 @@ */ ei->i_dtime = ei->i_links_count ? 0 : ip->i_mtime; ei->i_size = ip->i_size; + if (S_ISREG(ip->i_mode)) + ei->i_size_high = ip->i_size >> 32; ei->i_atime = ip->i_atime; ei->i_mtime = ip->i_mtime; ei->i_ctime = ip->i_ctime; _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
