yes, but then it's still irrelevant how big a file the source
filesystem supports, which was the original question.
The filesystem reference in my original question was meant as an
example. My point was just that split(1) could need an upgrade since it is
not too uncommon anymore to split files

Don't make it harder that needed. If you have a tested diff, send it in.

The following diff works on my amd64. I split an 8GB file into two
chunks: 5GB and 3GB

This is not enough at least the call to strtol() in the -b case

Hi Sebastian,
Why is this limit never increased. I mean, the fs supports much bigger
files. Are there any plans to increased this limit in the future so I
don't need to patch again when installing a new release?
Have you tried sending a diff?
HTH and thanks... Nico :-)
