Hi Trond, Yes, I did compile it both on 32bit and 64bit, as well as run on both 32bit and 64bit, also tried what you suggested. Unless there is something else I am missing, the only difference in behavior I saw were the number of iterations pwrite() goes thru before pread() fails... and in all cases, the file size is well under 2GB before pread() failed.

Otherwise you should note that off_t is a signed 32-bit integer. You'd need to compile your test program with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 in order to make those pwrite() calls work correctly past the 2Gb mark. You also have potential 32/64-bit issues with the stat_file() routine.
