I don't understand. Why would you want large-file support enabled on a per-filesystem basis? All your system programs would have to support the lowest common denomitor (ie, with large file support). Is it to make the kernel enforce a limit for the purposes of compatability? I'd suggest making it as simple as --enable-large-files and make it default in a year or two. -- Martijn van Oosterhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that can do binary > arithmetic and those that can't. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
