[Building Sakai] Sakai as a large file dropbox

[Steve Swinsburg]

We were restricted by the amount of memory available and adding more  
was proving to be a hurdle so we hadn't gotten around to getting to  
the 'very large file support' going. But with that squared away, and  
the new kernel, very large files should be fine (in 2.7).

cheers,
Steve
