I am talking about both cnfs and buffindexed buffers. CNFS seems
working fine with 64 bit offset. But buffindexed method requires a
little change to support a correct reading of buffers' length over 4
Gb. Constant at line 316 of buffindexed.c must have an explicit type
conversion:
len = strtoul(l, NULL, 10) * 1024; /* This value in KB in decimal */
^ must be `(off_t)1024`
But I'm not sure about a correct work of buffindexed method with raw
partition about 13Gb .
