The best thing to do is "import test.test_largefile" which will run all the large file tests. There's no magic flag or status attribute available.

I want to make sure we don't run into an JPS> overwritten Data.fs situation. If there is only a single server, then you shouldn't run into the overwritten data.fs problem. Either the server will fail when it hits 2GB, because it doesn't have LFS, or it will not fail, because it does have LFS. The overwrite would only occur if you changed the Python binary from one that did have LFS to one that didn't have LFS. (Perhaps by moving the file to a different machine with a different binary.)
