So, I'm not able to cp the file into another dir on the same partition, it stops at the 50 MB. I'll try creating a 80 MB file on another partition. Also: it's the local hard disk. It's using whichever fs comes with rh7.1, sorry don't know off-hand if that makes it ext2 or 3. (The PC is at home and I'm at work.) The memory I have is 128 MB RAM, 256 MB swap space. Many thanks for all the help. I had read man largefile before, and knew about the gigabyte limits. I thought maybe rh was doing something non-standard. I would just download this mp3 again, but the server doesn't seem to be working anymore. I can read man fsck to see how to check the consistency of the fs where this file is sitting, when I get back from work this evening. Question: Do you guys think it's possible to save the file if it's an fs problem? --- Scott Prive <Scott.Prive at storigen.com> wrote: > 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.
