file size limit question

[Nagarjuna Rao Cherukuri]

I got the issue. It is not due to file system space limitation or large
file limitation. It is due to the flavor of zip utility I am having. I
used tar with "z" option to get compressed tar file. This way,
compression ratio is very high and files bigger than 2GB also created.
Thank you all for the inputs. :-)

Subject: file size limit question


Hi all,




I am trying to take zip backup of a directory. But, the zip command
fails once the output file reaches 2G. I am on RHEL AS 3.




Can anybody throw some light on this?
