[SunHELP] Solaris 2.6 limitations?

[Edward Chase]

I've got an old (Intel) Solaris 2.6 server.

I'm trying to tar up some stuff to a file.  It keeps crapping out on me in 
the same place.

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I'm thinking that the machine can't create a file greater than 2GB.  Might 
this be true?

# ls -l
total 3944210
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    2018426880 Oct  2 15:21 homer.tar
drwxr-xr-x  23 root     other        512 Sep 11  2000 local
drwx------   2 root     root        8192 Aug 31  2000 lost+found
# uname -a
SunOS homer 5.6 Generic_105182-20 i86pc i386 i86pc

The tape drive in this machine died and I figured I could tar and transfer 
since I have an area with room to tar.
