i have /com nfs mounted: from fstab: xxx:/com /com nfs rw,tcp,bg,nfsv3 0 0 ii'm trying to manipulate this file: /com/bkup % ls -l www1-local.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2162790400 Oct 27 21:56 www1-local.tar /com/bkup % tar tf www1-local.tar /com/bkup % /com/bkup % dd if=www1-local.tar of=/dev/null bs=128k 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000073 secs (0 bytes/sec) /com/bkup % less www1-local.tar Cannot seek to that file position (press RETURN) Solaris (local file system): /com/bkup>tar tf www1-local.tar tar: Cannot open www1-local.tar: Value too large for defined data type tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now however dd is able to read from it IRIX (also NFS mounted) /com/bkup>tar tf www1-local.tar FLEXlm/ FLEXlm/release.notes bin/ bin/ar bin/b2m bin/c++ ...and so on I thought NFSv3 provided for very large file support? not only that, this file is not _that_ large... just 2gigs. the amusing part is although SUN is the NFS server, only IRIX seems to be able to handle this file properly via NFS, solaris bombs out even on the local system.
