in not building with largefile support.  I suspect other platforms are in
the same boat.

Should we make these the default for all platforms, and add corresponding
--disable-foo options?  Do this just for the BSDs?

Well, the AIX servers aren't that stable compiled with largefile support.
The salvager isn't working properly either.

Shouldn't that code be rather OS independent, or am I missing something? I can understand if the inode server-related stuff (fsck etc) goes bananas due to largefiles, but the generic salvager really should not...

I don't think it would be a big deal, but somebody has to debug and fix that.
(if possible, before we make it the default ;-) )

Making it the default on the platforms that has it tested and proven stable would be a start, which are those anyway?
