*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 75574 *** No, this bug is not bogus! cp should check this before it starts copying a > 4GB file and give a helpful error message. It should not waste the user's time copying only the first 4GB of the file and then dump core.
This bug is simple to reproduce: create a large (>4GB) tar file and copy it to a VFAT partition (e.g. an iPod). At least one bug is a duplicate of this bug: #75574. Bug #63900 is also related. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 75574 cp crashes when copying large files to usb device -- cp crashes when copying large files https://launchpad.net/bugs/69807 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
