Mr Smiley, There is file size limitations on Windows. I am not to sure about NT4 but as you have the problem I guess it is. fat32 will not let you do a file bigger then 2gb. Are you using fat32 on ntfs? I would hazard a guess you are using fat32, if not the earlier versions of ntfs might not have been able to do larger than 2gb. Wk2 ntfs can handle it. You will be best checking the MS web for info on nt4 ntfs.

But tar stops at 2,097,153. Stating 'File size limit exceeded'. I know that the system partition for NT4 can't be bigger than 2G. I'm Tar'ing to a 36G Raid drive. I'm logging in as a superuser. I know i have the option of taring to specific file sizes, but one big file would be better for me. Anybody come across this before. I know its a NT problem because I've tar'd 4.6G to another LM9 machine.
