Can anyone tell me if Fedora will have a 2 Gb file size limit ? I am
trying to copy a VMWare image from a DVD to my home dir (got plenty of
space) and it stops with a IO Error at about 2 Gb. Wanted to know if its
a limit of the OS/File System because I can copy the file fine in Windows.
I had ~ 34 Gb tar backup last week. No problem with RedHat 9 (and maybe 8),
so there's no OS/FS limit (at least not with ext3). Then I split-ed it into
700Mb chunks to burn it on CDs. After this I've tested it to see if I can
use it to recover the system - all fine. RedHat 7.? seems to have 2Gb limit.
I thought that limitation went away with the 2.4 kernel.
