Jacco -
You should be able to see the whole discussion thread at
http://bugs.debian.org/184158. The patch amounts to simply adding two
defines to CFLAGS.
The thread shows a simple test I ran which creates and mirrors a large
file. (It took some 15 minutes on my machine.)
The mirrordir package also includes a self-test script in
/usr/share/docs/mirrordir/examples. You should run that as a normal
user - the parts requiring root permissions and username/password have
developed problems which I don't think involve LFS. (I think the
latter have to do with FTP support of daylight savings time.)
If you still have questions after reviewing the discussion thread,
please let me know.

James,
Last week I tried (twice) to submit the post below to the
linux.debian.bugs.dist thread entitled "Bug#184158: mirrordir Error
with large Files", but (so far) the list managers have not approved
the post so it doesn't appear. I hope that you don't mind me emailing
you directly, but I'd like to get some more info about this patch
since this issue has been bothering me for a while.
Thanks much,
Jacco

James,
I'm not a Debian user (SuSE), but would like to know more about this
patch. I was not able to find info on it through google though?!? I'd
be happy to try it on several ext3 and reiserfs systems, assuming that
data from a range of SuSE sytems (9.x-10.1) interest anyone here...
Best,
Jacco
