Ok, let me try again. :-) I am attempting to tar up a directory for backup purposes. I am issuing: tar -czvf home.tar.gz home After 40960000k the process stops with 'broken pipe'. If I issue: tar -cvf home2.tar home It dies with 'File size limit exceeded'. Also at 40960000k. I have plenty of disk space, and have tarred them into a separate directory. We routinely do files larger than this on other machines, this one somehow got messed up. Hope that's a little clearer. thanks, --charlie -- Charlie Farinella [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
