Hey again, Maybe I shouldn't comfuzzle people. I did chesty's test (thanks man) and the FS supports larger than 2 gig files.
The problem is many applications, such as wu-ftpd that comes with Debian Woody couldn't access past 2 gigs of large file I made with dd. The _LFS_STDIO macro mentioned in that large file how-to doesn't seem to exist in any of my header files. It is only mentioned in unistd.h as a comment. This means I have to change source of every application I get so that it supports 64 bit IO right? I'm trying this with a sed script at the moment. What would be nicer is if I could define some of the options at compile time that would make applications support LFS without any code changes? Which is the best way of changing file IO functions in the source?: Changing fopen to fopen64 or using the O_LARGEFILE option with fopen?
