Re: [gentoo-user] NFS configuration (tcp/ip & MythTV)

[Bryan Whitehead]

BTW, it could be you are using NFS v2 which is ONLY 32bit so you have the 
4gb filesize limit.

run "nftstat -s" (on the server) and "nfsstat -c" (on the client) to see 
what version of NFS you are using (note: what version of NFS you are using 
is not related to the transport - udp/tcp).

I use bigger than 4GB files on Linux server/client all the time to move 
DVD iso's to machines with better burners...

you are running the 2.6 kernel?
