Hi.
I want to enable support for filesizes greater than 2GB on my LFS 6.1 system.
The information I googled up seems rather old (talking bout 2.4 kernel and
old glibc) or just doesn't help (just listing the possibilities). What I
figured out till now is that support is there in general, but has to be
enabled by compiler flags at installation.
Can anyone please hit me with a hint (or a link for starters) ?
I have an rar-archive consisting of several ~1 GB files and want to unrar it
resulting in an ~7GB file...
What's the problem with large files? Do you have enough diskspace? LFS
shouldn't have any problems with large files. I often record films or TV shows
and the file can grow to 3 or 4 Gb. I've downloaded linux DVD iso's and burnt
them to disk, they booted fine. Some old applications may still have a problem
with large files but there's no problem in principle. when I tar up and LFS
partition the resulting tar.bz2 can get to nearly a 900Mb and expand to about
2.3Gb when uncompressed.
