RE: large file support?

[Potenza, Joe]

I get the error: "Value too large for defined data type" whenever find
encounters a file over 2 gig. I don't know how this find was compiled.
Is there a configure or compile option for largefile awareness or should
it work automatically. I did not see any reference in the install docs.

In what respect? The -size Test works without problems Linux for big
files:

$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024M count=0 seek=30 of=findtest
$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024M count=0 seek=3 of=findtest-small-3GB
$ find -maxdepth 1 -size +10000000k -print
./findtest
$ find -maxdepth 1 -size +1000000k -print
./findtest
./findtest-small-3GB
