Dear Reader,
As advised on the website I am posting a question/(bug?) to this list. I
have notices some problems FreeBSD has accessing large files. The
problem occures at FreeBSD 2.2.5, but I could find no mention of a fix
in 2.2.6.
Using 'fgetpos' and 'fread' or using 'lseek' and 'read' one can use
64-bit pointers, 'fpos_t' and 'off_t to access large files mounted
under NFS v3. This however does not seem to work properly for files
larger as 2Gb. Attemps to acces larger than 2 Gb files on a
NT-machine with a NFS v3 deamon fail. Accessing the larger than 2Gb
files on a NT from Digital Unix 4.0 (Dec Alpha) works perfect. Is this a
bug? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help me.
Regards,
