Re: Still have the open(2) problem

Okay, I have got util-linux working with files larger than
2 gig. I tested it with a 4G twofish loopback with ext2 to 
be precise.

The problem is one that might be in the cracks between the
util-linux dist and the crypto patches. You have to modify
MCONFIG to include the -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 in the Compiler FLAGS:

	   CFLAGS    := -g $(CFLAGS) $(OPT) -I$(LIB) $(WARNFLAGS) \
				$(CURSESFLAGS) $(SLANGFLAGS) \
				-DSBINDIR=\"$(SBINDIR)\" \
				-DUSRSBINDIR=\"$(USRSBINDIR)\" \
				-DLOGDIR=\"$(LOGDIR)\" \
				-DVARPATH=\"$(VARPATH)\" \
				-DLOCALEDIR=\"$(LOCALEDIR)\" \
				-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

And of course you have to apply the util-linux patches from 
linux/Documentation/crypto/
