The kernel is 2.6.9-42.ELsmp on RHEL4 x86_64.

servername$ dd if=/dev/zero of=4.8tb_file bs=1M count=4800000
File size limit exceeded
servername$ (stopped at 2TB)

The 64bit should not need the option obviously, because it is 64bit, is this a b
ug in the kernel?

For 32bit:
.config - Linux Kernel v2.6.22 Configuration
 ..............................................................................
  ..................... Support for Large Single Files ......................
  . CONFIG_LSF:                                                             .
  .                                                                         .
  . Say Y here if you want to be able to handle very large files (bigger    .
  . than 2TB), otherwise say N.                                             .
  .                                                                         .
  . If unsure, say Y.                                                       .
  .

For 64bit:
.config - Linux Kernel v2.6.22 Configuration
 ..............................................................................
  ............................... Block layer ...............................
  .  Arrow keys navigate the menu.  <Enter> selects submenus --->.          .

  . .    [ ]   Support for tracing block io actions                       . .
