Request for Question Clarification by maniac-ga on 26 Oct 2004 15:24 PDT

Hello Tback99k,

You don't mention which version of Fedora Core you are using (FC2?).
However, this is a known problem and is described at
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123524

Scroll down and if you have the right version of Fedora Core, it may
be possible to download an RPM that has this fixed (assuming the
remote file server supports > 2 Gbyte fetches).

If you don't have the right version of Fedora Core, and need help
building form source, let me know so I can walk you through this.

Either way - please indicate your progress in a clarification so I can
follow up on this question.

Here might be the answer to your problem:
http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/VALinux-kb/2gb-filesize-limit.html

Your problem may be related to the file system that you want to
store your files onto.
If you use ext2 file system, the files cannot be larger than 2GB
If you use FAT32 file system, the files cannot be larger than 4GB
If you use ufs with default settings, the files cannot be larger than
32GB
etc.
