Dear friends:
   Thanks every much for your kindness, my questions were gradually solved here.
 
   Now I can use fseeko64() now, but in fact it takes very long time
for a fseeko64() call as if the call is suspended. During the call,
kswapd use CPU madly, statistics as follows:
 
  2:30pm  up  3:17,  4 users,  load average: 0.23, 0.05, 0.02
45 processes: 41 sleeping, 4 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  1.9% user, 98.0% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle
Mem:   126104K av,  123992K used,    2112K free,       0K shrd,    6780K buff
Swap:   56188K av,       0K used,   56188K free                   98704K cached

    a.out is my test program, which opens a big file(4.7G) on xfs filesystem
by using fopen64(); and then use fseeko64() to locate to 2.1G. The statistics
is got when the program executing fseeko64(), it took more than 2 minutes. After
2 minutes, the call return successfully.
 
    My questions are:
       why it took so many time for a seek call? I'v never met it on ext2 or xfs
on IRIX.
       why kswapd ate all my CPU resource and memory resource when I call fseeko64()?
 
       My destination is to use big files in my program, open/read/seek, very simple
needs, but how can I do this?
 
      Thanks a lot!
