So, why can't 3.2-R deal with a 4 GB file? # /bin/ls -al /remote/13 ls: tom.__lassiter_E.19991007.0: File too large ... From a HP-UX 10.20 system: # ll /remote/13 -r--r----- 1 root sys 4262199296 Oct 15 18:01 tom.__lassiter_E.19991007.0 I encounter the same message no matter what program I use to try to access this file from the FBSD system. Could this be a NFS problem? The file is on the HP-UX system. When I tried to copy it to a disk on the FBSD system, using dd on the HP-UX system, the copy ran for 2 GB and then failed with "I/O Error". Trying the same with dd on the FBSD system the copy won't even start (File too large). -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
