That looks like whatever filesystem gzip was writing to couldn't handle files over 2gb. You mentioned writing to a remote filesystem using amd, but it defaults to NFSv3. Were you maybe writing to a FAT fs on the remote end? You can also see whether amd actually mounted the remote fs with NFSv2 by uncommenting the "/var/log/all.log" line in /etc/syslog.con, touching /var/log/all.log, and restarting syslog. Then have amd remount the remote system and check the log. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
