Re: [Bug 70535] Re: nautilus crashes when copying a 4G file on a vfat volume
I agree, FAT 32 can't handle Those hudge files, but nautilus should not crash, it should raise an error like FAT 32 file system is unable to handle files larger than 4GB, Sorry. IMHO this is a minimum. Did you try to copy a 4.5GB from a NTFS volume to a FAT32 volume on Windows ? Explorer does not crash ! 2007/2/21, Kurt von Finck [EMAIL PROTECTED]: FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB. FAT32 cannot store or manipulate files in excess of 4GB. On any platform. This is a limitation of FAT32, not a bug. -- The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 B (232−1 bytes). For most users, this has become the most nagging limit of FAT32 as of 2007, since video capture and editing applications and some other software can easily exceed this limit. Most new Windows machines now ship with NTFS and thus avoid these problems, but those who run dual boot systems or who move external data drives between computers with different operating systems have little choice but to stick with FAT32 (although between Windows and Linux it is possible to use ext2 or ext3 through the use of external drivers such as ext2 IFS). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat32 -- -- nautilus crashes when copying a 4G file on a vfat volume https://launchpad.net/bugs/70535 -- nautilus crashes when copying a 4G file on a vfat volume https://launchpad.net/bugs/70535 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I suppose that if the problem is not from nautilus but the fs itself, nautilus should show an alert or something, but not crash :) Here is the compressed crash report FAT32 has 32-bit limitations. The maximum of 32-bit is equivalent to 4,294,967,295 or 1x32 in binary. Transferring files greater than 4.2GB is not supported in those filesystem. Other filesystems with 32-bit limitations are ReiserFS and HFS/HFS+. Transferring files greater than 4.2GB requires LFS (Large File Support), among those are ext2/3/4, Reiser4, xfs, jfs and ntfs. Hope this helps. ** Attachment added: compressed crash report http://librarian.launchpad.net/6488181/_usr_bin_nautilus.1000.crash.bz2 -- nautilus crashes when copying a 4G file on a vfat volume https://launchpad.net/bugs/70535 -- Carpe Diem -- nautilus crashes when copying a 4G file on a vfat volume https://launchpad.net/bugs/70535 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
