Based on didier's comment that this was resolved back with 2.6.24, it
should not have regressed with 2.6.27 so I'm marking this "Fix
Released" for now. Thanks.

The Hardy Heron Alpha series is currently under development and contains
an updated version of the kernel. It would be helpful if you could test

The "patch" is to format the storage device using a different file
format, such as ext2 or ext3. VFAT cannot handle files larger than 4GB.
The linux and gnome utilities need to handle the situation more
gracefully
The low importance of this problem should be raised to high. Here is my
argument:
There is an influx of new users coming into Linux Ubuntu from MS
Windows. These users have users of training in certain processes for
computer use. Fortunately one of these things is the need for good
backups.

The patch wasn't applied in gutsy kernel. This bug will wait the next

This patch is now in the mainline linux-2.6 tree:

I'm hoping this means that the Ubuntu Kernel Team will be willing to
give it the go-ahead for Gutsy.

To be clear: it's not a vfat issue: vfat just determines where the file

To my dismay, SIGXFSZ is a POSIX-defined signal; and because the "cp"
command is specified as having the "Default" behavior with regard to
asynchronous events (signals), it will break POSIX to install a signal
handler for this by default.
In my opinion, it would be well to diverge from POSIX in th
Bug 63900 has some discussion regarding blocking/handling SIGXFSZ. I'm
convinced that handling this signal is the right way to fix it; patching
vfat to not generate the signal isn't appropriate, as other filesystems
may still cause this.
IMO, SIGXFSZ should never have been given a default behavior

cp dies with SIGXFSZ, a signal from BSD that is generated when the
device's file-size limit is exceeded, and whose default behavior is to
dump core(!).
There may be issues on some filesystems where it can be difficult to
determine the true file-size limit, and even after such a check, there

This bug is simple to reproduce: create a large (>4GB) tar file and copy it to
a VFAT partition (e.g. an iPod). cp dumps core.
Preferably cp should not waste the user's time copying only the first
4GB of the file before raising an error, but should check in advance
whether the file size will be
