I just tested split(1) version 4.5.3 from RedHat EL3, and it seems to have managed to split a 4.2GB file just fine. What I had to do though was specify more suffix characters, and a sufficiently large chunk size: split -a 4 -b 1048576 ./4200.txt splits the file into 4200 1MB files. You probably want to make the files larger than that - maybe four 1GB files or something. -Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
