[ILUG] file size

Interesting problem :

I'm currently adding a 13gig disk to a RAID-0 setup at home, which
requires me to move everything off the current raid in order to
change it and format the new one.

I starting trying to tar the whole thing (the first section was
about 5 gig of mainly binaries), and stopped halfway through realising
that it was going to hit the 2G filesize limit.

What's the best way to move very large volumes of data around under
Linux like this?

I'm moving them off the machine briefly, and then back after I've
updated the RAID hardware.

Vin
