Hello
Odd question, is it possible to safely and sanely mmap a file (with a 2.6 kernel, if it matters) that is greater than 4 gigs, on a 32bit machine?
I'm toying around with some whole partition encryption and I think this would simplify things. While the file size should be arbitrary, my 'execution unit' is fixed. The number of 'execution units' that I will tackle at once is also arbitrary.
Im hoping this would simplify I/O by saving me from managing these execution units and having the reads/writes be optimized by the Virtual Memory System directly.
Thanks
