Linux kernel 2.2.x unpatched has the 2GB file size and 1GB ram limit.
Patched with the lfs package the 2GB file size limit goes away.
The lfs patch needs applied against gnu-libc as well. This alone may not
avoid the 2GB limit, the application must use the lseek64 instead of
lseek, for example. lfs will be included by default in the upcoming 2.4.x
kernels. The upcoming 2.4.x kernels also support more ram. I'm fairly
certain ram patches exist for the 2.2.x series.

I have just one question to ask will postgresql 7.1 include full support
for using lseek64, stat64, etc?
