Depends on what you mean. It works correctly for me, at least somewhere
between 7 and 8 gigs. It does not, however, appear to support files that
are >4 gigs in size, at least on 32 bit machines.
Just for grins, though, I tried concatenating to the end of a 4 gig file.
The append fails -silently-. AIEEEEE! Filing a bug.

I don't think you'd get much disagreement anyway. Keep in mind, this
tends to be a UNIX-y crowd. :-) I'm unclear why 64 bit file offsets are
a requirement for this, though... or were you just wondering about disks
over 4 gigs?
Later,
