woody should have LFS already built in, perhaps you need kernel 2.4 though.
We recently upgrade a few servers to woody because a database was getting
close to 2 gigs and potato didn't support LFS. After the upgrade to woody,
a test database was made that was roughly 40 gigs.
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=4k count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
$ ls -l bigfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 chesty chesty 4096000000 Jan 8 13:33 bigfile
$ tar cf bigfile.tar bigfile
$ ls -l bigfile.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 chesty chesty 4096010240 Jan 8 13:37 bigfile.tar
