Err, they do. It is the applications (or actually the application programming interface used for file I/O) which does not. To use files larger than 2GB on a 32bit CPU such as any X86 cpu the application must be compiled using 64-bit file I/O. However, this mode of operation has not been tested much in Squid and is known to have a few gotchas as 64 bits is larger than the 32 bit long integer data type of 32 bit CPUs which causes problems when file sizes is converted into integers for calculations etc, so this is not enabled in Squid. The above is true for all known UNIX like OS:es on 32bit CPUs, and all reasonably modern ones do support large files if explicitly enabled when compiling the application only. Regards Henrik
