Hi,

I have a 4,5GB NTFS partition (/dev/hda1), and a FAT32 partition (/mnt/hda7), where there is about 7GB of free space left.

I have changed the RW mode of the /mnt/hda7 partition, and issued a command (found in some Linux tutorial on the net):

Code:
dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip -v6 | dd of=/mnt/hda7/cImage.gz
After a while I have got an "out of disk space" message, and I have seen, that the file cImage.gz has been created, containing EXACTLY 2GB image file. I suspect, that this is NOT a problem with the free disk space on /mnt/hda7, but rather I have encountered some size limitation - which one? Of the filesystem or of one of the utilities.

Knoppix 3.4. has been used.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
