Large File Support

[Andreas S. Kerber]

We need to handle files which are about 10GB large.
Is there any way to do this with Linux? Some pointers would be nice.

Yes, with recent 2.4 kernels or a patched 2.2 kernel - and a
recompiled glibc.  For details check:

Install a kernel / glibc that handles LFS. Search for LFS on Freshmeat,
you'll end up with the right patch.

You'll probably need to recompile some stuff, see the LFS patches on what
define to use. I forgot.

Large File support

[Krishna Prasanth]

Hi
    I would like to enable Large File support on applications running on  
linux kernel 2.4.x
    (using glibc-2.2.5).
    All i did was included the flag -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.
    I read in some documents which also specifies to include  
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE apart
    from the above flag.

    Please clarify me whether it is necessary to include both the flags. As  
per my
    requirement i want to 64-bit usage, replacing the older ones(32-bit).
