Bug#317095: faubackup: problem backing up large files

[Akos Gabriel]

Package: faubackup
Version: 0.5.8
Severity: important

faubackup has problems backing up large files. I guess the limit is
around 2GB. I had problems with a large AVI (11GB) and a DVD ISO image
(4 GB). I backup to an NFS-mounted volume. The NFS-server is an x86_64
based machine with Suse 9.2

Could be this the reason of the hangup? There are remainig working-* folders 
that's where I
recognise the hangup. If I remove the big files or mark them to be ignored then 
the backup completes normally.

hmm, faubackup should support large files.

Can you confirm that the NFS server does not have any problems with
large files itself?

Perhaps the backup of the large files was just too slow and got
interrupted somehow?
