ulimit shows no limit. The thing john recommended showed both large
files and huge files. <br>
<br>
Everything seems fine. I gotta be doing something simple but wrong. I
know I had this working on another machine before.<br>

got a backup system running where I rsync my desktop over to a backup
server then I tar it up every night.<br>
<br>
The tar seems to be capped at 2gigs. Any idea on why that would be? I
wonder if it's not the filesystem type. I've got two large drives in
the backup server, one is set up as ext4 (that's where the tar is
happening) and the other is set up as linux native. I don't know why I
set it up that way - could that be the problem, and what type of
filesystem should I be using?<br>

I am able to create tar archives that are 72GB in size, on a 64 bit
version. So obviously, tar can do it.<br>
<br>
Check ulimit -a and see if you have a limit on the maximum file size.
Make sure you do it from the shell of the user that is doing the backup.<br>
