Hi,

fbackup is OK with largefiles (> 2Gb).

What error message did you get?

Probably enabling LARGE Files to Yes on this filesystem will help u.

I think the problem born because I work
across NFS.
Infact on local machine i backup 2.8Gb is there a patch to solve the problem???

Hi

If disc is mounted as largefiles and
ulimit -a shows unlimited for hard and soft
limits should be ok

Hardlimit :
# ulimit -Hf unlimited
Softlimit :
# ulimit -Sf unlimited
Check :
# ulimit -a
Change /etc/profile, if needed,to set file (blocks) permanently.

Hi Matteo,

Fbackup works fine with files larger than 2GB. The problem could be with the largefiles option disabled for your filesystem. Do a "fsadm -F vxfs /mount_point"

If this returns nolargefiles, you should enable the largefiles option for the filesystem. Use hfs in place of vxfs in the command if this is a hfs filesystem.

Hope this helps.
