From: Wolfgang Illmeyer <wolfgang@illmeyer.com>
Maximum file size for hostfs mounts defaults to 2GB, so bigger files cannot be read/written through hostfs. This patch initializes the maximum file size to MAX_LFS_SIZE. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Illmeyer <wolfgang@illmeyer.com> --- This patch applies against linux-2.6.30. It fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13531 It is a revamped version of the patch I attached to the bug, using additional input from Andrew Morton (thanks). This is my first patch for the kernel, I hope I didn't break too many rules ;)
