The 2.2.x kernels don't support by default files larger than 2Gb, but you
can apply a patch called 'LFS' or you can download the lattest kernel from
the 2.4.x series, that includes the patch into the kernel.
The Debian 2.4.x kernels can be found at www.valinux.com...
At:
ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/kernel/2.4.0-alpha1/debs/
or you can create it using the make-kpkg command...
Good Luck!

Sure. This kernel version includes a kernel that has appropriate
configuration options enabled for the typical large enterprise
server. This includes SMP support for multiple processor machines,
support for large memory configurations, support for large file I/O, and
other appropriate items.
Look for a package called kernel-enterprise. If your distribution does not
have it, try www.rpmfind.com (looking for "kernel-enterprise").
