Could this be a NFS error, or a FreeBSD error? This is probably because you're using NFSv2 which has a 2 GB filesize limit. NFSv3 isn't limited to 2 GB so if you can use v3 that will help. If not, you need to use a different method to move the data over the net. >(I searched thru >the archives before posting, no one else seems to have had this problem, so >I am not inclined to think it's FreeBSD right now) Rather than assume the problem is FreeBSD I would assume the problem is that you're looking for the answer to an amanda problem on a FreeBSD list. Most of the Amanda people are on amanda-users@amanda.org. Believe me, people have had this problem... -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
