A friend of mine has created a 7.75 GB .mpeg file.
He wishes to transfer it to another machine.
We failed to copy it to another hard disk or another partition on the same
hdd.
Windows XP says that there is not enough space on the hdd (even though the
target partition has more than enough 20 GB free space).
I booted the machine with Konppix 4 and mounted the partitions and tried
to copy the file. Copying process did start but stopped after it had
copied about 53% of the file saying that maximum file limit has been
reached.
Now I am going to dd the entire partition (20 GB) onto another hdd.
The m/c is an AMD64 3000+ on an RS232 motherboard with 1 GB of RAM. How
much time is expected to be taken by the process?
Any guesses?
It depends on the filesystem. For example file size limitation for an ext2
filesystem (with 1kb block) it is 2GB. I guess it is same for ext3 also.
Where do you have the mpeg file now and where do you want to transfer it?
-logu
The 7.75 GB mpeg file is on an NTFS partition. I need to transfer it to
another hdd which has multiple partitions. A partition of 20 Gb can be
spared on the target hdd. One should be able to access it through WinXp.
We do have a dvd writer with capability to write a dual layer dvd.
Will it be possible to transfer the file onto a dual layer dvd? Should I
try that?
