I'm confused Hi Ben Thank you. But why does the source for the kernel contains compiler directives for large files? In redhat 7.0 is it possible to select a kernel with support for large files on 32 bits systems instead of the normal kernel. That kernel is compiled with the mentioned directives defined. Are they trying to trick the filesystem or what, er dont know. I installed RH 7.0 with that kernel, and som lib patches, but with the same degree of succes (none!) So, all in all, I'm confused. I did mail to SuSe Support Services, and they claim they can solve the problem for 240 EUR. I need it solved, so I'm looking forward to se what the solution will be. <p>Lars L.

Actually more than one component is involved here. Even though the kernel and glibc do support LFS now, you still need to have 1) a file system that does support LFS (ext2 does, ReiserFS does not) 2) applications compiled or fixed to work with LFS AFAIK, ftp and samba did not support LFS on SuSE Linux 7.0. We are working hard on enabling LFS on more applications for the next release. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update: If you are interested in some more details about LFS, I would like to recommend you to have a look at Andreas Jaeger's home page: http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html Andreas is one of our SuSE Labs hackers and is working on LFS and glibc stuff.
