Dear Reader, As advised on the website I am posting a question/(bug?) to this list. I have notices some problems FreeBSD has accessing large files. The problem occures at FreeBSD 2.2.5, but I could find no mention of a fix in 2.2.6. Using 'fgetpos' and 'fread' or using 'lseek' and 'read' one can use 64-bit pointers, 'fpos_t' and 'off_t to access large files mounted under NFS v3. This however does not seem to work properly for files larger as 2Gb. Attemps to acces larger than 2 Gb files on a NT-machine with a NFS v3 deamon fail. Accessing the larger than 2Gb files on a NT from Digital Unix 4.0 (Dec Alpha) works perfect. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help me.
