Hi,
I've a problem when I want to tar a  big directory under Solaris 2.7
Leila# tar cf - Fluent.Inc > /export0/Fluent.tar
File Size Limit Exceeded (core dumped)

Leila# du -ks Fluent.Inc
717176	Fluent.Inc         <-----  711 Megs  Not a largefile  

Leila# du -ks /export0/Fluent.tar
614712	/export0/Fluent.tar

I thought that the problem of size was only for file > 2Gb
( It's what  man tar says ...  )

Is there a problem with tar ? Anu idea ?
Thanks
