SubjectCannot write file larger than 2TB on x86_64?
The kernel is 2.6.9-42.ELsmp on RHEL4 x86_64.

servername$ dd if=/dev/zero of=4.8tb_file bs=1M count=4800000
File size limit exceeded
servername$ (stopped at 2TB)

The 64bit should not need the option obviously, because it is 64bit, is this a b
ug in the kernel?

For 32bit:
.config - Linux Kernel v2.6.22 Configuration
..............................................................................
..................... Support for Large Single Files ......................
. CONFIG_LSF: .
. .
. Say Y here if you want to be able to handle very large files (bigger .
. than 2TB), otherwise say N. .
. .
. If unsure, say Y. .
.

For 64bit:
.config - Linux Kernel v2.6.22 Configuration
..............................................................................
............................... Block layer ...............................
. Arrow keys navigate the menu. <Enter> selects submenus --->. .
. Highlighted letters are hotkeys. Pressing <Y> includes, <N> excludes, .
. <M> modularizes features. Press <Esc><Esc> to exit, <?> for Help, </> .
. for Search. Legend: [*] built-in [ ] excluded <M> module < > .
. ....................................................................... .
. . --- Enable the block layer . .
. . [ ] Support for tracing block io actions . .
. . IO Schedulers ---> . .
