[Bug 119868] [NEW] Ubuntu: scp crashes with File size limit exceeded

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have Ubuntu 7.04 installed, file system is ext3. The following
commands fail for file sizes larger than 17GB.

1) scp user at remotehost:/large-file.bin  .
2) rsync  user at remotehost:/folder-with-large-file/* .
3)  dd bs=1024k count=19000 if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/testfile

The same error happens each time, each of the above commands fail with
the output - File size limit exceeded (core dumped).

Here is my ulimit-a output. I don't have any preset file size limits.
