Can't copy a file bigger than 4GB's between partitions
Anytime I try to copy a file larger than 4GB it stops right after 4GB has been transferred and gives me a "the file protocol has died suddenly" error.
This is within KDE 3.3, Mandriva 2005 LE distro. The file I'm trying to transfer between my linux partition and a fat32 partition is a 4.3GB iso. I've tried just booting into the console and not into a windows manager, and it does the same thing, only transfers 4GB, but doesn't give me an error. I have no clue what's going on, any help would be very much appreciated. |

hmmm.....looks like that would explain it
guess I'll need to find another way to transfer that file is there a file splitter you can recommend that won't mess up the iso once it's reconstructed? |
actually, I need a cross platform file splitter, since it would need to be re-assembled in windows
|
You could make a multipart rar file.

i had the same problem
i just split them in linux with the split command (man split) then joined them in windows by typing : copy /B file.a* outputfilename NOTE : you must join them in a NTFS partition |
Under Linux, you split say "wholefile" it in several parts , part1, part2; using /usr/bin/split.
Under win32, you put the pieces together using copy part1+part2 wholefile /b |
