I sense attitude. I don't want to get into an argument, but the above doesn't imply what you say. I did make a mistake in saying 'cp' doesn't work with large files, but there have been numerous occasions where I cannot use my linux system because the utilities that come with it are not compiled with that support. That is my point.On Thu, Nov 21, 2002 at 03:08:51PM -0800, Max Waterman wrote:Somethings are compiled for large file support. Try ftp/gftp on it, for example.
You reported cp not working with a large file. I stated that it does
even with an older Red Hat Linux distribution. I don't have a bla bla
utility that you also claims doesn't work - perhaps that an 8.0 specific
utility?
Your comment above implies that gftp *is* compiled with large
file support, and your comment below that it fails. Which is it?
My questions stands. Is there a version of RedHat where everything is compiled with large file support - not just somethings?
Max.
If you really want a good answer, please give us a good problem
description. You should start at least with a copy of /etc/mtab and a
log showing the failure.

That's odd. I'm still running Red Hat Linux 7.1 with an ext2 file
system and I have no problems with large files. I just created a 4.3GB
file and used cp to copy it. No problems at all.
