Hello,

I inadvertantly generated during a backup session with tar files which -
obviously - are greater than 2 GB. the space occupied appears in "df ."
- however trying to "rm" this file this is not possible

the errormessage is:

rm: cannot remove `backup-share.tar': Value too large for defined data
type

what could I do to remove that file ?

Tia and best regards
Jörg
