As already pointed out, hda and hdb together are a bad idea. It will also
slow things down.

I'm not sure that this is a RAID problem at all. I've encountered the
same problem when trying to scp files larger than 2GB. Never got around to
try and fix it though. Being lazy, I just use 'split' and 'cat'. So maybe
there's some other component/program to blame alltogether.
Anyway, you can always try the 2GB limit on your raid by cat'ting together
a large file enough times (cat iamaonegbfile iamaonegbfile iamaonegbfile
> iamathreegbfile).
If that doesn't work, we don't have the same problem. If it _does_ work,
I'll be just as eagerly waiting for some smart person to present us with
the solution :-)
Have a nice day,
