Sean,
Do you mean that the fact that I was able to work with a DB > 10GB
does not mean that my XFS file system supports 64 bits I/O?

However, I was able today to GBAK on a ext3fs (the backup file was >
2GB), although I did not try to backup on xfs again. But it's late
now, that's for tomorrow...

Best regards,
Fabrice Aeschbacher
