Archive hard drive usb

[nicolas]

Hi
I’m trying to archive some projects from a flint linux onto an external harddrive usb. I’m having some problems.
I can mount the hard drive by the comand
mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

(my harddrive is format in fat32)

I’m able to write and read on the drive but after I start to archive the flint application just close by itself.

I don’t know what to do, can someone help me ?

fat32 filesystems are limited to a maximum file size of 4GB, which you will quickly reach when trying to archive to a file. You will have to format the drive as something which doesn’t have this limit: under Linux, it is probably simplest to format it as ext3.

I don’t think my problem is the files sizes, because I limit the size of the files to 1 gb.
