[OpenAFS-devel] AFS Large File Support

[R. Lindsay Todd]

I have updated the patch on this web page to reflect the fact that 
Nathan has extracted and Derrick has applied the safer portions to CVS. 
 I have also added a separate patch to the volserver to support dumping 
and restoring large volumes, but not been able to extensively test it yet.
