Very large files

[John Willis]

Howdy,

I have a large VS 6.0 C++ program and I'm running it under WINE under Redhat Linux. 
Everything works fine, but it doesn't handle file sizes greater than 4gb like it can running 
directly under Windows XP. 
I've tweaked everything that I can find that seems to deal with file sizes. 
Is there a problem with WINE itself handling very large file sizes?

Thanks in advance,
John

Hi,

I think its dependent on the filesystem and the kernel version you are running.
What is the Redhat linux version you are using snd the kernel version
you are using.

Thanks,
Vijay

It always depends on what functions it uses. Not all places in WINE might be working for files
larger than 4GB.

Can you give us +relay,+file traces of such failures?

How do you access the file? With stdio streams
(fopen(), fread(), ...), MSVCRT's open()/read(), or
with KERNEL32's CreateFile(), ReadFile(), ... ?

Which version of the Linux kernel and which filesystem
are you using?

I'll run some tests at home and see whether it works
for me.
