To be fair, I should say that the server is a 'specical' box. But an lmdd writing to a file in 250GB partition that I started from Solaris last night is still going. The NetBSD && FreeBSD writes both stopped at 4GB. I suppose it still could be the server, but, well, it's hard to sell against som

I came across an embarrassing comparison last night- FreeBSD NFS clients (well, i386) stop writing files at 4GB. Solaris, with O_LARGEFILE options in the open arguments, does not. Does anyone here know what FreeBSD ought to be doing about this? Or have I missed something? There is no O_LARGEFI
