Support for large filesystems?

[Oystein Viggen <oysteivi@tihlde.org>]

Hi

I just discovered the following from the gnumach and hurd changelogs:
gnumach (1:1.2-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Update to CVS 20010111, which contains a new interface for
  block devices with a large number of blocks.

hurd (20010111) unstable; urgency=low

  * New snapshot from CVS, containing lots of small bug fixes, and:
    + Together with gnumach 1.2-9, you can access large stores with
    storeinfo, storeread (because libstore uses the new interface in
    gnumach, and off64_t internally).

Does this mean support for filesystems larger than 1GB, or at least a
beginning for such support, or is it something else entirely?
