How do I copy Unix files 2 gig

2004-03-15 Thread iggchamp
Hi all,

How do I go about copying a file that is  2 gig?  I had no idea that this would be a 
problem when I decided to let one of my data files extend beyond the 2 gig limit with 
the 64 bit option.  The man pages for cp do not mention any size limitations.  What 
am I missing?

As always, thanks a bunch for the help,

Scott

what about using tar?

cd destination ; tar cvf - /sourcetreename | tar xvf -

I think the above will work.

There should be a file under /etc somewhere (/etc/security/limits on AIX) 
named limits, or something similar, in which a parameter (on AIX, it's 
fsize) defines that limit. Change it to a larger number, or on many unices a 
-1 means no limit.
