python 2.1.1 has ben compiled without LFS although it normally supported by python under glibc2.2 --- --- Please, try this: > f = open(\'/dev/hda\',\'r\') > f.seek(2000000000L,0) > f.tell() returns 2000000000L, but > f.seek(3000000000L,0) cause an error!!! But this should work! And this works fine when I rebuild Python by myself. Now I can\'t provide details abount what flags I use because I can\'t remember it. But I\'ll do it as soon as I can.
It is not true. Python 2.1.1 has ben compiled with LFS support. Probably you are using non-LFS filesystem, such as reiserfs-3.5
Python 2.1.1 built with LFS, so it\'s not a bug at all.
