I get something very similiar (termination due to signal 25, SIGXFSZ) when letting "cat" write into a FAT32 system (in my case "cat /dev/video0 > foo.mpg"). Tried patching cat to no avail, which actually makes sense since it's the shell which is writing into the file. I tried zsh and bash...
Surely all the tools can't be changed to ignore SIGXFSZ, the right fix is in the vfat code of the linux kernel, isn't it? -- dies due to SIGXFSZ when copying large file onto VFAT filesystem https://launchpad.net/bugs/63900 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
