Hi All,

I'm trying to copy a 7.9GB tgz file to an external USB drive. The external drive is 500GB. About half way through the cp process, I get the error message:

8119 file size limit exceeded cp maui-Sun.tgz /media/My\ Book/chuck/

There's plenty of space on the USB drive. I'm running 'edgy eft' on a laptop.

Any ideas on what might be going on here??

TIA, If you're copying via a windows machine the file will have to be stored on your workstation on the way to the target.

Also remember that windows doesn't understand unix file ownership, certain permissions, and of course symbolic links. /m
