I am needing to transfer a singular file of roughly 4.8GB from Linux Mint onto a thumb drive, so that I can transfer it to my Windows install on a separate partition on the same PC. However, it has repeatedly failed after 4.3GB, with an error message reading “Error splicing file: File too large”.
How do I fix this issue, or get around it? I need that file moved.
EDIT: This issue has been resolved. It was caused by the thumb drive being formatted as MSdos, reformatting it to exfat seems to have done the trick. Just used right-click “format” on linux mint, no need for console or booting up windows.
Sorry if it’s a noob question, but isn’t a live session something you do with a USB stick without installing? The file is currently on the Mint install I used to torrent it, along with my other daily-driver things.
Or, something you do with a fit Latvian girl…
Man, those guys who down voted you have no sense of humor. You made a sex joke in response to my video game piracy joke!
