I have a few boxes with LFS (large filesystem support.) One is a Mandrake 8.0 
and another Mandrake 8.1. They each have filesystems with type ext3. One has a 
5.5GB mpeg file and the other a 27GB tar file. Both systems are with stock 
kernels.

The only way that I could move a > 4GB file intact was by using rsync ...

rsync -e ssh thisfile otherbox:thisfile

I tried and failed using NFS w/ cp mv etc., scp and ftp . Only some things are 
compiled/built with LFS support.
