April 5, 201214 yr I did not think ReiserFS had a 4GB file size limit like FAT32; however, I am capturing some video directly to my unRaid server and it is breaking the videos into 3.99GB chunks on both the cache drive or the data disks (I have tried capturing to both to see if there was a difference). If I capture the same video to an NTFS drive, the entire tape is captured as a single ~19GB file. I have been unable to locate any unRaid setting that should affect this and forum searches seem to indicate there is no 4GB file size limit. Any ideas why captures to the unRaid array are behaving this way? I have copied several 20+ GB files to the array from NTFS with no problem.
April 5, 201214 yr What application are you using? UnRAID is not breaking the files into chunks. It has no such requirement or capability. I have dozens of blu-ray rips over 20GB.
April 5, 201214 yr Most likely the capture application is written to assume any destination not a local NTFS volume can't handle larger files, so it's breaking them up to be safe. Trust us, it's not unraid that's doing it. Which application are you using?
April 5, 201214 yr Author What application are you using? UnRAID is not breaking the files into chunks. It has no such requirement or capability. I have dozens of blu-ray rips over 20GB. That's what I thought. As I said, I have copied 20+ GB files to the UnRAID server with no problems and nothing I have read about unRAID leads me to believe it is unRAID related. I am capturing with Corel VideoStudio X5 Ultimate as it makes it easy for my wife to do basic edits on the family videos. I see no settings in the application that should affect this and if I capture to an internal NTFS drive on the PC, the video captures as a single file. Maybe, it doesn't like "network" locations. I could not see how this was an unRAID issue, but, I thought I'd throw it out there as I am by no means an unRAID expert.

April 5, 201214 yr Grasping at straws here for a solution, but maybe you could mess around with NFS instead of Samba and see if that makes a difference? I've not had good luck with NFS, so I can't really be of any assistance getting it going.
April 5, 201214 yr Currently the file size restriction unRAID has on it's data drives that's using ReiserFS is 8 TiB on 32 bit systems with a maximum volume size of 16 TiB. 1 TiB (tebibyte) = 2^40 bytes = 1099511627776 bytes = 1024 gibibytes
