split -b 266748928 BIGfile
where BIGfile is 5333497856 bytes
reports that 266748928 is an invalid number of bytes.
However,
split -b 1333374464 BIGfile
works just fine.
split --version
yields 4.5.3.
It seems apparent that your split utility is attempting
to use a four-byte signed integer to hold the number
of bytes. However, the file system handles files that
are much larger, and I would like to be able to split
them without resorting to multiple splits with sizes
small enough to fit in a four-byte signed integer.
