Re: [SLE] dd over ethernet?

I just ran an experiment with dd to verify that it can generate large (>2G) files _locally_ with "dd if=/dev/urandom of=bigfile bs=16k count=131073" and that cp can copy such a file locally. Is the problem only with NFS and smbfs?

nfs v.2 only supports files < 2G, that would the problem. v.3 supports up to 8EiB. I have no idea about smbfs. -- -ckm
