Petr,

have a look at my (work in progress) page
, it contains the table now.

   No, I don't maintain such table, those above are out of the top of my
   memory from the time when I did the initial LFS work.

Matti,
  if you are maintaining such table, you can add

  NCPfs:protocol is limited to 4G-1, Linux implementation to 2G-1
  
I do not plan any change until Novell discloses 64bit NCP file api.

The LFS specification defined  loff_t for 64-bit offset value.
The   ssize_t  will not change.

ReiserFS: Propably works

Coda: Not (local cache issues, protocol is ok.)
UFS:  works (although not complete vs. O_LARGEFILE flag use.)
NFSv2:protocol is limited to 2G-1

off64_t is the type you want to look at.

The 2.2 version of ReiserFS as distributed with SuSE 7.0 doesn't
support LFS.  The 2.4 should - but better ask on the list.  You need
to find out for every file system.  I have no information about coda.

2.4.0test7 has all the LFS (large file support) in it.  It will work
on ext2 - but e.g. not on NFSv2.

You need a new glibc (no need to recompile your programs).  glibc 2.2
will support the kernel LFS interfaces, a beta quality test release is
available as glibc 2.1.93 (search the mailing list archives at
http://sources.redhat.com/glibc for the announcement).

Some distributions, like SuSE 7.0 (RedHat might also, I'm not sure),
come with a glibc 2.1.3 that has LFS support in it that works with
2.4.0testX.

And make sure the utilities you want to work with those 2GB+ files were
compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (check e.g. with nm -uD /your/binary | grep 64\$
).

Hello,

I need support for files larger than 2GB.  What's the status for that ?  
AFAIK neither 2.2 nor 2.4-test support that out of the box.  Can anyone
point me to a good link for patches ?  Apart from the kernel, does
anything else need changes for large file support ?
 Thanks,

2.4.0test7 has all the LFS (large file support) in it.  It will work
on ext2 - but e.g. not on NFSv2.

You need a new glibc (no need to recompile your programs).  glibc 2.2
will support the kernel LFS interfaces, a beta quality test release is
