console backup to usb fail
« on: February 25, 2019, 07:16:42 AM »
I am doing a console backup to a 3TB usb drive but it fails saying check the log files.
The only thing I can see in the log files is this:

console_backup: gzip: stdout: File too large
console_backup: status from tar was 13
console_backup: status from gzip is 256

The actual file created on the USB disk is 2TB in size
The usb disk is formated ext3

seems like ext3 has a max file size limit of 2TB
formatting to ext4 now
