- I do not think this problem is XFS related, but as I got the kernel source from the XFS cvs, I just ask here: 2.4.11 compiles fine and runs, but when I try to create files that are larger than 2GB,

- If you are using a non-xfs filesystem for I/O then unless your application opens the file without O_LARGEFILE it will get bounced out of the kernel this way when it attempts to cross the 2G boundary

- dd fails when doing a simple dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb sda and sdb being identical harddisks. There are no filesystems involved. There must be a check in the kernel when accessing anything above 2GB
