-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A quick question : What filesystem are the files stored in on the Mandrake 8.1 box?
I have made a 27 GB tar file on Mandrake 8.0 and ext3 filesystem. Moving large files from box to box was tricky though. rsync seems to be ready for this. I was able to break the 4GB limit (I hit that with NFS going Linux <-> Linux, also with scp) Linux has been supporting large file systems for a while now, but the commands that we use everyday are not all up to speed yet.
