problem copying files
I currently have three hard drives: (2) 150GB IDE drives and (1) 500GB SATA drive. I'm trying to move files on the IDE drives to the SATA drive so that I only need the SATA drive. The SATA drive is running Fedora 13 and the other two were old NTFS drives that I just use for space now.
So most of the files copied fine, however, for a handful of them I receive the following error:
Error splicing file: Value too large for defined data type
This happens when I try to copy files not only from drive to drive, but even from folder to folder on the same drive. I've read about a 2GB file size limit, but none of the files are that size. I have no idea why this is happening. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi and Welcome !
How did you mount NTFS partition in Fedora 13? Have you tried to umount and mount partitions again?It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Sorry. Forgot to mention that the two IDE drives had Windows installed on them so they were formatted as NTFS. The SATA has Fedora installed on it. Hope this helps. Thank you.
