Need help on move (mv) command
Hi all,

I am using c-shell ,Sun OS. When i am trying to move (mv) a file size more then 2 GB i am getting error like -- parameter value too high -- also ls -ltr command was not working on that .

But when i move a file of size less then or just above 2gb ,It is working fine .

Can any one tell me IF it is the size limitation of mv command on UNIX?


I am presently ziping it and moving so there is no problem as size reduce to less then 2 GB.

But i scared if even after ziping the file it will size will be more then 2 Gb

Can any body suggest me a better solution to this ?

I am thinking of spliting it and moving and then integrate it ,But i suspect if the cat command will work fine with size more then 1 GB file to integrate ?

Please suggest

Thanks

qmove

qmove(1B)								PBS								 qmove(1B)

NAME

       qmove - move pbs batch job

SYNOPSIS

       qmove destination job_identifier ...

DESCRIPTION

       To move a job is to remove the job from the queue in which it resides and instantiate the job in another queue.	The qmove command issues a
       Move Job batch request to the batch server that currently owns each job specified by job_identifier.

       A job in the Running , Transiting , or Exiting state cannot be moved.

OPERANDS

       The first operand is the new destinationfor
	   queue
	   @server
	   queue@server
       See the PBS ERS section , "Destination Identifiers".

       If the destination operand describes only a queue, then qmove will move jobs into the queue of the specified  name  at  the  job's  current
       server.

       If the destination operand describes only a batch server, then qmove will move jobs into the default queue at that batch server.

       If  the destination operand describes both a queue and a batch server, then qmove will move the jobs into the specified queue at the speci-
       fied server.

       All following operands are job_identifiers which specify the jobs to be moved to the new destination.  The qmove  command  accepts  one	or
       more job_identifier operands of the form:
	   sequence_number[.server_name][@server]

STANDARD ERROR

       The qmove command will write a diagnostic messages to standard error for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qmove command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qmove command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
