Hello,
Can "cp" under ext3 partition copy files which are greater than 4GB ?
(the source file and the destination are on the same ext3 partition, and there
is of course enough space)
Is there a limit on the size of a file which can be copied thus ?

"man cp" does not refer to this issue.

Rgs,
Mark
