Hello coreutils team,
I have been experiencing a problem with GNU split, and unfortunately, with
the 5.0 release of coreutils, it still seems to be there.
The issue for me is to split files at the > 2GB boundary. The problem
exists on Linux 2.4:
$ split -b 2500000000 bigfile
split: 2500000000: invalid number of bytes
Try `split --help' for more information.
$ split --version
split (coreutils) 5.0
Written by Torbjorn Granlund and Richard M. Stallman.
The same occurs when compiled on Solaris 8. When I compile
coreutils on Linux, I see this in the configure output:
checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64
checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no
I must have missed something obvious. If anyone has had any
luck with large files using split, would you please pass a few
pointers my way?
Thanks in advance,
Luke
