I'd suggest you to use RAR and part archives as this can do more compression and ia2t you can easily split your archives into smaller parts. ;) -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx On Behalf Of Rik Herrin Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 10:42 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: file size limit question I've created files that are larger than 2 GB on an ext3 on RHEL ES 3. By default, when you create a partition, 5% of it is reserved for the root user (I'm not sure of the percentage exactly but a percentage is reserved for the root user). So it might not be a question of maximum file size that you're hitting into. Try to unzip on a partition where you have more free space... -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
