From: Jan Andres on 4 Aug 2010 17:00 isofs supports files larger than 4 GB by using multi-extent files. However an lseek() to a position beyond 4 GB in such a file will fail with EINVAL, because s_maxbytes in the isofs superblock is initialized to 2^32-1, and generic_file_llseek() checks against that value. I therefore suggest increasing the value of s_maxbytes to have full support for large files in isofs. With multi-extent files, file size is only limited by the maximum size of the file system (8 TB), so this seems a reasonable value for s_maxbytes.
