How To Check If LFS is Enabled

To check if a file system supports the LFS (Large File System) standard, you can use the getconf command. If the result is 64, LFS is supported.

getconf FILESIZEBITS /

In the example above, the root file system was checked. If /var for example, is a separate file system, specify /var in its place. You may also use the mount command to verify the file system type that is being used. ext2 / ext3, for example, has full support for LFS.
