Hi all, I have a 250 GB USB external HDD with FAT32 partition. I wanted to copy the isos of GNU/Linux distros onto it, but when the size of the file is > 4GB, I get an error message saying "file size too large". When I googled regarding this, I got a lot of links pointing me to 'ulimit' command but I don't see any issue with that. Here is what I get when I do a ulimit -a:
<snip> core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 20 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 16382 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) unlimited virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited </snip> Iirc, I remember a similar question being already asked here, but couldn't find the relevant thread now, hence this question. How to overcome this problem? Thank you.
