When I went to RHCE training at Red Hat, the instructor told me that
large file support in the file system and in the apps/libraries has been
available since Red Hat 7.2.

Actually, it is a two-part issue.  First, as you say, the file system
needs to support large files.  Second, however, is that libraries and
applications need to be compiled to understand file offsets that are
greater than +/- 2GB.

As Red Hat supplies libraries and applications, it is sensible to ask
whether they support large files.

That's how much I know.  I don't know whether RH 7.3 supports large
files.


-kb, the Kent who guesses it does.
