Re: Unable to commit a file of size 4GB to svn repo

Hi smith,

Thanks for your reply.

*The SVN server is installed in RHEL 5 (so hopefully it is ext3)

*I'm accessing the server through a server (http://)

*Yes, Im getting the same error from the command line too.

* Yes, I need to push that 4GB file coz I mainly work on files they are too
large in size.

Thank you once again for your immediate response. Please let me know if you
have any other questions.

Thanks,
Sathish
