Hmm Ok
But I got another box which can do more than 4GB tar.gz.
[root@gaia /bak/donia0]# ll -h *tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.1G sep 13 21:19 0.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G sep 14 22:30 new0.tar.gz
I think that the kernel 2.4.2-2 (from seawolf iso) can do >4GB files but
the 2.4.3-12 (from updates.redhat.com) can not. Is this a (lack of)
feature ?
