Steve,
The patch written by Matti Aarnio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is
available on ftp://mea.tml.tele.fi/linux/LFS/ . Another one is on
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz//pub/local/mj/linux/smugfs-0.0.tar.gz written
by Martin Mares. Again with the 31 Bit offset. Unfortunetly the VFS
abstraction layer passes files offsets as signed ints so the 4Gb that you
should already have with 32 Bit, you don't. If your running on 64 Bit
architecture then you should wait for kernel 2.4.xx, and RH7 Enterprise
Edition which allows file manipulation above 2047Mb -- Terabytes in fact.

Subject: Re: 2 gig limitation on file?
where can i get some documentation on this.
I have a big problem at work because of this.
I run an oralce dump using Net8, accross the net
to a Redhat machine that does a backup onto
a tape drive. However, some of these dump
files created off of Oracle are greater than
2gigs. This patch information would be of
great help. Thanks.
