    Hi All

    Thanks to

    Jay Lessert
    Alan Scott
    (Anyone else I missed.....)

    They both suggested looking at the largefiles option for mount, it appears
    that ufs does this by default, but on 2.6 at least the nfs mount does not
    and you have to specify 'largefiles' as a mount option in vfstab, all is
    working fine now that is done.

    Hi

    As the search facility is temporarily not operating and I am sure it is in
    there, can someone let me know if I can create a 30Gb+ file over NFS coming
    from a 2.6 client to 8 server, if so how?

    Thanks

    Peter
