[Vm-dev] Mantis issue 7522 (dealing with files > 2GB on linux)

[Hans-Martin Mosner]

Hello,
quite some time ago (early 2010) I posted an issue on mantis about the linux VM's handling of files > 2GB.
I don't remember whether I sent a report on the list, too, but in any case, current VMs still have the problem.
IIRC, I had a half-working solution at that time, but I'm not sure what the right way is for getting this problem solved
now.
Could anybody please have a short look at this? It would be great if future VMs would be able to handle files of this
size (many video files are bigger than that limit.)

Cheers,
Hans-Martin
