Maybe this subject is covered already, but I couldn't find it anyhow.
I want to use the sysadmsh backup and restore functionality. This is
handled by /usr/lib/sysadm/backupsh.
Is there a reason why backupsh does a ulimit 419304 during a restore.
This means that files larger than 209652 KB can't be recovered.
I didn't found anything about this in the IT scripts, but I can hardly
imagine that nobody never recovered a file larger than this.

1. 2GB ext2 filesize limit applies to tape backup?
Hi,
We use essentially "tar -czf /dev/tape /" for the full backups on
Linux PCs in our lab. On a PC with these partitions:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2 2888796 1297106 1442305 47% /
/dev/hdc1 2035606 915309 1015073 47% /home/ftp
/dev/hdc2 2028129 13916 1909389 1% /var/spool/mail,
After the above tar command was successful, I did "tar -tvzf /dev/tape"
after rewinding the tape to the beginning of the file. Its output
terminated approximately at 2GB mark with this error message:
gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
Is this due to the 2GB filesize limitation of ext2? Is this irrelevent
to this limit because there's no filesystem on tape and the error
is something else?
By the way, the tape drive is a SCSI drive using 4/8GB Travan
cartridges.
Thank you inadvance.
