Hello there Luggers........
just recentely i needed to make images if a few HDD's for
the purporse of replication. But unfortunately i encountered a
problem which i describe as follows........
The Partition sizes on each of the HDD's were somewhere about 5GIG
each. I decided to create the images using the raw data copy command
DD. Vrtythin went smoothly until the file size reaches somewhere
around 4.1GIG wherein the 'dd' command abruptly terminates remains
in memory but the file size stops growin.
I tried this again using another HDD"s with almost the same
partition configuration and the results were absolutely identical.
The machine i experienced these problems on was a runnin RedHat
7.1. Is this problem of file size limit of 4GIG overrideable. If i
recollect is this limitation enforced due to the memory addressing
issues of the 32 bit architecture. Can this glitch be resolved on
an i386 (pliss don't ask me to upgrade to the IA64...'-) ).
