1. Shouldn't OFFSET_MAX be 0x7fffffffffffffffUL if off_t is 8 bytes? 2. The NFS testsuite expects EINVAL when length > 0 and start + length - 1 is beyond OFFSET_MAX.
Are you talking about the Connectathon test suite or something else? I assume you're talking about NFS V2 and NLM V2 or V3, not V4.
The offset size in NLM V1-V3 is 32 bits, the size in NLM V4 is 64. NLM V4 came with with NFS V3, though I believe you can use NLM V4 with NFS V2. I don't think any existing NFS client does, though.
Hmm - NLM V4 uses the variable length file handles if NFS V3, so that would be a problem. People with 64 bit file systems really need NFS V3. V2 with files larger than 2 GB can be ugly.
