Between 3.9G and 4.9G, there is a 4G boundary which may interfere if your file system supports only 32 bits. I've had similar issues with a FAT32 and an ext2fs partitions and huge backups - that's why I fly only with UFS partitions under FBSD 5.3 and wiped out Linux from the disk. Note that video DVDs are organized with several video files (often not exceeding 1G). My cent worth... Olivier
