2 Gb File Size Limit ?

[Peter Kiem]

Hi,

> use it to recover the system - all fine. RedHat 7.? seems to have 2Gb limit.

Nope.  I regularly make 2.2GB backup files (and larger) using tar on a
Red Hat 7.3 system.  Processor is an AMD 266 MHz.

Tar, NFS and SSH have no problems with that file but viewing it over
Samba 2.2.7-3.7.3 shows the file as being something like 16,777,777 TB!
