>2GB files can't be opened for appending on i386

Postby windo » Thu Mar 13, 2008 5:44 am

on i386, files larger than 2GB can't be opened for appending no matter what ACL is on the file. they can be opened for appending only when the directory the file is in has the "w" flag set.

this seems occur with grsec patches for 2.6.17 up until 2.6.24.2 (havent tried latest)

I've uploaded a new version of gradm which should fix this issue.
