[OpenAFS] File size limit exceeded .. solutions ?!

[R. Lindsay Todd]

Bernhard,

     The CVS version (or latest snapshots) of OpenAFS "almost" have 
large file support in them.  What is missing is the appropriate switch 
to the "configure" script that will enable the large file code in the 
server.  You can find the patch to add this on my OpenAFS large file web 
page:

    If you try this, you should be aware that there is a problem with 
the code at this point: When I create a volume on a large file file 
server, it seems the root directory is corrupted.  The salvager can fix 
it, and everything seems to work fine after that.  I am still trying to 
track down what is going wrong.  Time has been scarce, though I am 
hoping to put in some effort before the week is out.
