Yeah, I was going to suggest the same thing --- but not with that switch name. We already use enable/disable-largefile to control whether 64-bit file access is built at all (this mostly affects pg_dump at the moment). I think the clearest way might be to flip the sense of the variable. I never found "LET_OS_MANAGE_FILESIZE" to be a good name anyway. I'd suggest "USE_SEGMENTED_FILES", which defaults to "on", and you can turn it off via --disable-segmented-files if configure confirms your OS has largefile support (thus you could not specify both this and --disable-largefile). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
