large file problem in rh7.1

[Scott Prive]

You have a (disk) hardware or software (fs) problem. Check your fs consistency.
You should be able to read files that are gigs in size, with no problem.

Also, try creating another file that large on a different partition, if possible, and see what happens. You're using ext2 or ext3, correct?

Subject: large file problem in rh7.1


Hi, I have a large (80 MB) mp3 on my rh7.1 system , and it keeps giving me
problems.

If I try to gzip, compress, cp, rcp, ftp, basically do anything with it, I
get back 'Input/output error', after about 50 MB of the activity is
completed.

I also downloaded the lxsplit utility to break it into several small
files. This also worked till about 50 MB, but then hung indefinitely.

If it's helpful:
lxsplit hung after 50253824 bytes
cp      died after 50257920 bytes.
gzip -1 died after 50053120 bytes.
gzip -9 died after 49971200 bytes.

Problem with rh, or possibly something funny about the file? Many thanks
for any help--
