Does a patch exist to override the 2GB vfat limit on 2.4.21?

The 2GB limit on vfat is quite troublesome, especially as the big hard disk is shared with Windoze (for the family :-( ) and I need all that luvverly space.

I've heard of it here some time, just can't find it...

Sorry for the trouble if its already been posted,

2.4.21 is working fine on 2GB> files, all you need is an proper glibc afaik.

Which version do I need? I'm using 2.2.5 (compiled using kernel 2.4.18 headers) on a 2.4.21 system.

Thanks.

2.3.1 is the one i use, i i belive you will have to upgrade to this version to handle files over 2G
