Hi Gents,

I am moving files from one netpp volume to a new volume created on an FAS3210 , ontap 8.0.2P3-& mode, and am getting this issue then files with longer names (more than 32 characters it seems) ;

" mv ~/0123456789012345678901234567890123456789 oldessimports/ mv: cannot create regular file `oldessimports/0123456789012345678901234567890123456789': File too large "

I have not come across this before , and am stuck as i have a number of key files with longer names ( closer to 50 char) to move.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appricated, as i really need to move the files!

Would be ahppy to provide more info if needed.

regards

si

It seems you are moving files using "mv" command at your Unix box.

Have you tried with "rsync" ?
