I've made a large .mpg file on a Linux machine (because some tools, such as mplex, are newer than available in FreeBSD ports). Here's a directory listing: >-rw-r--r-- 1 jim users 4388444160 Jun 2 23:15 movie.mpg I want to burn it to DVD but the burner is on a BSD box, so=20 I nfs-mount the /home partition. However when I look at the same file from FreeBSD 5.1 I get: >-rw-r--r-- 1 jim 100 93476864 Jun 3 00:15 movie.mpg (yes I know there is a time zone issue. I haven't worked=20 out how to set it on Gentoo yet). The difference between the sizes is 4294967296, ie 2^32. Anyone know if this is an issue with the NFS implementations or whether the NFS protocols have a 32-bit size limit? Even copying the file from one machine to the other is proving a challenge! Trying to push from Gentoo to FreeBSD gets: >ftp> put movie.mpg >local: movie.mpg remote: movie.mpg >local: movie.mpg: File too large and trying to pull from the FreeBSD box gets: >ftp> get movie.mpg >local: movie.mpg remote: movie.mpg >227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,100,2,128,64) >550 movie.mpg: File too large. Hmmmmm.
