Actually, solved it - thanks for the reply Ed.
Adding a define to the gcc CFLAGS fixed it, the define in question was..
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
This esentually aliases any 32bit file operations to their 64bit counterparts and should be able to be used transparently to enable largefile operations on 32bit hardware/OS's

We have just migrated a system from a debian 3.0-stable box to RedHat ES 3.0, the migration went smoothly except that the application we were running under debian now appears to have a filesize limitation on the log files.
As soon as the logfile reaches 2gig in size the daemon crashes.
Filesytem type is ext3
we are using the same source tree in both instances which tends to point toward something in the OS itself ? (mount options ?)
To prove to yourself that your filesystem supports files larger than 2G, do the following:
# cd <directory where you have problems> # dd if=/dev/zero of=foo.bar bs=1000K count=3000 # ls -lh foo.bar
Now that you've seen that your log file could be larger than 2GB with a well-written application, it's time to have another look at the application itself and see why it's breaking.
On the debian system the same application ran quite happily with logfiles2G
That's interesting... perhaps the application libraries are different? Dunno, I'm not a programmer and have never run debian before either.
