Any solutions other then upgrade the kernel? First of all, to really make sure what kind of file system you are tring to use and what limitations you have, please provide the following info: uname -r mount In the output from the mount command, please tell us which file system you are trying to copy from and which file system you are trying to copy to. If it turns out that you have mounted an smb network file system with an old kernel you will not be able to copy files bigger than 2 GB that way. Instead you will have to find another way. One such way might be to put an NFS server on you Windows machine. Another way might be to put an ftp server on the windows machine and copy the file with ftp instead. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

Hi, I tried copy to NTFS drive & the same problem so gone my hope that the culprit is with FAT32. Any solutions other then upgrade the kernel?

I am indeed mounted an smb network file system. Below is the info. uname -r 2.4.26 mount /dev/hda3 on /home type ext2 (rw) //myserver/back on /mnt/myserver type smbfs (0) I copy from /home to /mnt/myserver. Anyway, thank for your advise. |
