HFS ~ HTTP File Server / .tar doesn't support files of size above 8gb

« on: November 18, 2015, 08:41:07 AM »

I have my personal hfs server up and running and my friends download my shared games through it. Now the problem is some folders contain files sizing above 8 gb and now if some one tries to archive the entire folder, it will get downloaded but won't open and will be corrupted. I guess it is happening because tar doesn't support files above 8 gb and results in total denial. For fixing this, I always have to split up a large file so then my friends can download. Splitting the files up takes too much time and its kind of irritating and not convenient. But I have read on internet that there are fix available now, to remove the 8 gb restriction on tar files. I hope rejetto removes such restriction, otherwise HFS is great !
