Re: [Gtkpod-devel] [Fwd: [ gtkpod-Bugs-2828134 ] Large Audio Book Won't Copyu]

[Jan K. <JKubitschek@JakPod.de>]

Hi,

as far as i know, the maximum filesize of a FAT16 partition is 2GB, the 
maximum filesize of a FAT32 partition is 4GB.

So the transfer of a 2,6GB file to a FAT16 partition will always fail.

Kind regards, Jan.
