read a large file from CD

Hi,

I got this error while trying to copy a file from the CD to the hard drive. It's a large file:

I need to copy jarfiles.1.1.jar to the hard drive.

# pwd
/SD_CDROM/stage/Components/oracle.sysman.website/9.2.0.1.0/1/DataFiles
# ls
Expanded html.1.1.jar jarfiles.1.1.jar
#
# cp jarfiles.1.1.jar /home/otroot/sharath/

is either directory NFS mounted from tp6.

if the target directory is (/home.....) is an NFS mount, is it largefile enabled on its host?

> It's a large file:

Nowadays, "large file" is usually interpreted
to mean "bigger than 2GB". That means that
you can't get a "large file" from a CD-ROM,
so questions like "is it largefile enabled"
do not apply.

Things are different for a DVD-ROM, which is
big enough to hold a "large file" (by this
standard of "large").

How big is your file?

With all those NFS error messages, I'd look
for problems on the NFS server.

Where _is_ "the hard drive"
("/home/otroot/sharath/")?

Doh! I didn't even look far enough to see
the "ls" lising. Blame that on a lame brain.

But, yeah. 95MB is not "large" in this
context. "Big", maybe. (And I can't really
tell which end is the NFS server.)
