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.

Thankfully,

I don't have this trouble with NFS or HFS+, but

I'm trying to have a FS that's

1) local

2) case sensitive

3) LFS-ready

I'm not particularly interested in a discussion of

why I want (2); let's try not to repeat all of that

here :/

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?
