vfat large file support

2001-05-16 Thread Felix von Leitner

I can't copy a file larger than 2 gigs to my vfat partition.
What gives?  2.4.4-ac5 kernel.  My cp copies 2 gigs and then aborts.

  $ echo foo >> file_on_vfat_partition

causes the shell to become unresponsive and consume lots of CPU time.
