Nope. Bigmem was for 4 GB RAM and such, and has been pretty much replaced
by highmem (all culled from the Linux Memory Management mailing list). All
of the >2GB file stuff is refereed to mostly as Large File Summit (LFS) not
to be confused with Log File System (LFS - no idea what it does. Some sort
of journal type thing).
Once again, any information about large files under RAID would be much
appreciated. The pull of FreeBSD is almost inescapable.
