large binary file support in CVS

[Christopher 'The Homie Beard' Hemphill]

Hello,

 

I wanted to know if there is a limit for binary file size in CVS.

 

We have a need to store and version Video Clips of up to 40 Gig in size.  I have tried pushing these through CVS but get errors:

 

cvs import bigfiletest release import

N bigfiletest/4Gigger.iso

cvs import: cannot lstat file 4Gigger.iso: Value too large for defined data type

 

 

 

Or if I try to add the file to an existing module:

 

$ ls -lh

total 29G

address@hidden:~/cvs-divx/test_clips$ cvs add large.divx

cvs add: nothing known about large.divx

 

 

Thanks,
