A couple of years ago, I asked the question about having large files (that is 64-bits of addressability). Now that the POSIX definitions are getting close to being real, (and I haven't ever seen them), what is the replacement for lseek(2)? I see that the iNTEL version of linux doesn't go past 32 bits at present, but many current disks are close.
There's definitely been discussion about this; talk to Stephen Tweedie, as I think he's also expressed interested about doing 64-bit file offsets on i386 platforms.
