I cannot for the life of me get LFS working. I have recompiled the glibc rpm (the 2.2.1 one) for i686 and installed it. I have recompiled fileutils against that glibc. It still tells me that the file is too large when I do a dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=8192 it stops at 2.0GB (ls -lh). What am I missing? I thought I had all the pieces in place. It works on another machine I have. I just don't understand why it does not work on this one... I have this gut feeling its something really stupid but for the life of me I cannot find out what.
