I'm running a Linux program under -stable and it usually try to create a file bigger than 2 GB, but then it stops with a "writing failure" message when the file reachs 2GB. I know this is a Linux limitation, but is there a way to overcome this 2GB file size limit under the Linux emulation ? I also have the source code for this program, but porting to FreeBSD is "no way" at the moment. Thanks.
