split -b 266748928 BIGfile where BIGfile is 5333497856 bytes
reports that 266748928 is an invalid number of bytes. However, split -b 1333374464 BIGfile works just fine. split --version yields 4.5.3. It seems apparent that your split utility is attempting to use a four-byte signed integer to hold the number of bytes. However, the file system handles files that are much larger, and I would like to be able to split them without resorting to multiple splits with sizes small enough to fit in a four-byte signed integer. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
