large file problem in rh7.1



Hi, I have a large (80 MB) mp3 on my rh7.1 system , and it keeps giving me
problems.

If I try to gzip, compress, cp, rcp, ftp, basically do anything with it, I
get back 'Input/output error', after about 50 MB of the activity is
completed.

I also downloaded the lxsplit utility to break it into several small
files. This also worked till about 50 MB, but then hung indefinitely.

If it's helpful:
lxsplit hung after 50253824 bytes
cp      died after 50257920 bytes.
gzip -1 died after 50053120 bytes.
gzip -9 died after 49971200 bytes.

Problem with rh, or possibly something funny about the file? Many thanks
for any help--
