Large File Support for RedHat Linux 8.0 Kernal 2.4.18-14

[Joe Griffin]

My RedHat 8.0 system writes files larger than 8 Gb.

everest <106> cat bigwrite.f
      program bigwrite
      integer buf(1024)
      do i=1,1024
       buf(i)=i
      enddo
      open( unit=21, access='direct', form='unformatted',
     1     status='unknown', recl=4096, err=700 )
      irec=1
c      do i=1,524288
c      do i=1,2*524288
      do i=1,4*524288
         irec=i
c      write(6,*) 'writing, irec =', irec
         write(21, rec=irec, err=800) buf
      enddo
      write(6,*) 'write done, irec =', irec
      close( unit=21 )
      stop
 700  continue
      write(6,*) 'open err'
      stop
 800  continue
      write(6,*) 'write err, irec=', irec
      close( unit=21 )
      end
