it seems that on os x, split can only make files as big as 600 megs or
so. here is the command i am using:
split -b4700m myFile.tar.gz myFile.tar.gz_ ;
Which should be about DVD sized chunks. But the files come out a
little over 600 megs each.
thanks

Perhaps you're running an old version of split? split --version
should tell you. If it's before version

fix that bug. The current version is 5.93.
