Unless I mis-understood the man pages on this, the only time you can enable large-file support isn't in the kernel, it's in the filesystem layout, specified in an option to the mkfs command. This means you can only enable large-file support when you create the filesystem. I *HOPE* somebody tells me I'm wrong on this btw, it seems to be a rather brain-dead limitation. I'd love to know how it's done any other way. -- \ \/ / _ |~\ _ In God We Trust.
