i'm pretty sure that the --with-large-files is needed on 32 bit
installations (x86). Large file support is the default on x86_64

please someone correct me if i'm wrong ...

Hallo, Tóth,

Du meintest am 15.04.11:

What is the option when I compile squid to cache files over 2GB ?
--with-large-files

How can I see what are the default compile options for an apt-get
based debian installation?

squid -v



as far as i remember and know caching of big files is only about the
acls objects size limits and other then that it's the OS and FS (EXT FS
is not supporting more then 2GB per file)
i have used reiserFS for this usage.
it's more about logs and other stuff as long as i remember.
and you can see a bit about it here:

Sigh. Another well-outdated wiki about Squid. Thanks for that link.


To clarify;
Anything to do with saving files or transferring (since we go via files) needs to handle large numbers for file offsets etc. 32-bit *builds* do not provide these and require --with-large-files (Squid-3) or --enable-large-files (Squid-2) to convert them. 64-bit *builds* provide these details and require no options. The above options do nothing on 64-bit.

Debian packages already are built with the large file support by default.

Tóth: if you are having problems with large files in a Debian package please check the version rather than the features. There are storage bugs (http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3068) which were fixed in 3.1.10 and so are not fixed in the Squeeze or older Debian repository packages.
