Title: Maximum upload limit?
Post by: anro on November 21, 2008, 09:43:40 AM

Hi,

Im experince some issue while uploading files over some GB I think. I can manage to upload files that are about 600mbs, but when trying to upload a 4gb file I got "the folder don't have enough space" message. The folder have over 300GBs free  :-\

Any ideas?

Which browser? IE can't handle files over 4GiB.

Im trying in Firefox, but probably the same thing there then. Since you can see it contacts the HFS server

Firefox should be able to handle this, did a test long ago with a 10 GiB file, guess it still works.

Must be something other...

if the limit message was in the webpage with the style of other error messages of HFS, than it's up to hfs.
i don't remember if anyone ever tested 4GB+ uploads.
i'm about to make a quick check on the code.

i double checked the code handling this stuff, and it's all 64bit, that means it will work for 100GB and over.
furthermore, the error message for lack of space is "Minimum disk space reached", so if you saw a different message, it's unlikely to be HFS.

My crystal ball tells me: The upload folder is on a drive with a FAT32 file system

First: Some browsers and IE simply can't handle files >2GiB.

Second, if the upload directory (which is a real one) is located on a drive using the FAT32 file system, there is a limit of 4GiB (one or two byte less actually). Use NTFS or ExFAT (ExFAT only possible on XP or Vista, full support only under Vista SP1).

Firefox supports big files on download, I've tested that. But I've not tested upload, yet (though it should be the same).

It looks like there is a filesize upload limit.  Google it!

Let me know if you find the limit is truly in HFS.
it shouldn't be so...
