file size limitation... 2gb?

The PLESK server management software uses a mime typed backup file. I would like to parse the file but either I have one 9gb file which mime.c cannot seem to open, or I have 9 1gb files of which only the first has a header that mime.c can recognize.

Any opinions about how I might approach this?

BTW, here is the error I get when trying to open the 9gb file:

[root@work rawdata]# ../ripmime -i ../../thebigdump
mime.c:2745:MIME_unpack_single:ERROR: Cannot open file '../../thebigdump' for reading.

--gabe

What operating system are you running this on? While certainly on systems with a 2Gb filesize limitation I can see that
this would be a problem, but if the FS supports a single 9gb file, I'm not entirely sure why it would choke.

Regards.

Check the userid that inflex is running under, sounds like a user filesize
restriction.

cheers, Phil
