I hit this barrier a while back.. I believe this is a 32 bit
problem as the alpha machines don't have this problem.. There are patches
for the 2.2 kernels (well at least its in suse 7.1) and I believe it
exists for the 2.4 kernel by default i.e. rh7.1 (And in reiser 3.6* )
One problem w/ all of this is as far as I can tell you have to recompile
your code for large file support.. that is you have to compile w/
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and -D_LARGE_FILE_SOURCE for C code.. thus I am not
sure the work arounds will really help you.. but look up LFS large file
system in google and see if anything new is up..
