You have a (disk) hardware or software (fs) problem. Check your fs consistency. You should be able to read files that are gigs in size, with no problem. Also, try creating another file that large on a different partition, if possible, and see what happens. You're using ext2 or ext3, correct? -Scott -----Original Message----- From: Ken Gosier [mailto:ken at kg293.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 5:06 AM To: discuss at blu.org Subject: 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-- -- Ken Gosier ken at kg293.net _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss at blu.org http://www.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
