Subject: [9fans] seek offset

Hello 9fans,
Plan9 support sufficiently large file system for file server.
I guess the maximum capacity is 2TB.
On the other hand, the limit of local disk is too small today.
The limit is only 4GB. Now we will buy much larger disks.
We cannot install Plan9 to these large disk.
And what is worse, I realized today, we cannot put b.com
to dos system in the disk over 4GB.
The above problem comes from 32bit offset of seek call.
How much work will it be required to extend the offset
to 64bit?
