The LFS specification defined loff_t for 64-bit offset value. The ssize_t will not change.

ReiserFS: Propably works EXT2: works Coda: Not (local cache issues, protocol is ok.) UFS: works (although not complete vs. O_LARGEFILE flag use.) NFSv2: protocol is limited to 2G-1 NFSv3: protocol is ok, not sure of Linux implementation status. SAMBA: works (but linux kernel SMBFS might be another story)
