Description Sean Dilda 2001-12-11 22:29:14 EST

I have a file that's bigger than 2GB in a directory and start mc with that
as the current directory.  Upon startup, it gives an error saying:

File '<filename>' exists but can not be stat-ed: Value too large for
defined data type

And once its running, the file doesn't show up in the file list.

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-03-01 16:27:07 EST

We don't plan to implement this enhancement on the Red Hat level. 
If you want to ask about it on the mailing lists mentioned at
http://www.gnome.org/projects/mc/ and someone implements large file support, we
will upgrade to a new version that has this feature.
