I am trying to backup to an external 40 Gb hard drive over USB. I am getting
invalid directories being written and Linux crashes. I understand this is
because Redhat 9 supports a maximum 512Mb file size on USB. Is there any way
I can change this or am I best to use memory chips ?

Regards, Paul Nash
