CNFS + FreeBSD + cnfsstat "read:file too large"

Good morning to all,

I have just setup INN 2.3.0 on FreeBSD 4.0 (Release) and am having a problem with cnfsstat complaining about "File too large".  But this *only* seems to be a problem now that the cycbuffs have filled up. 

Today if I try to do a 'cnfsstat -a' I get the following:

%cnfsstat -a
Class HEAVY  for groups matching "*", article size min/max: 4000/1000000
read: File too large   

The relevant section of my cycbuff.conf is:

cycbuff:HEAVY0:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/heavy:2752000
cycbuff:LIGHT0:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/light:1000000  

(...) 

metacycbuff:HEAVY:HEAVY0,HEAVY1,HEAVY2,HEAVY3,HEAVY6
metacycbuff:LIGHT:LIGHT0,LIGHT1,LIGHT2,LIGHT3,LIGHT6    

Yesterday for example, when I did cnfsstat successfully I got:

%cnfsstat -a

Each of my disks holds two cycbuffs as follows:

-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news  2818048000 Sep 14 09:01 heavy
-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news  1024000000 Sep 14 09:01 light   


Are these files too big? I wondered if there was an issue with cnfsstat *reading* my files.

Any help is much appreciated, I'm new to INN and after figuring out (some) of the steep learning curve, I'm getting to like it!  :-)

Cheers,
Callum
