Hi Mark
I had this 2GB chunking problem too, along with another problem to do with the 
creating files in nsr/tmp on Networer 7.4.5...

* xxxx:VSS ASR DISK:\ save: There was an error creating the file: "C:\Program 
Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\sd00001e" errno: 17

I applied patch LGTOpatch20091019 on the clients concerned and that has fixed 
both problems for me.

I can easily make this available to you if you want to try it (I have the 32bit 
and 64 bit Windows versions).
Just drop me an email if you want them.

Cheeers... Allan.

I applied this "fix" yesterday, and all the clients with 7.4 SP5 are
still doing the 2GB chunking. I've opened a case with EMC, and the best
I've got so far, is that this is a "feature". They suggested I upgrade
to NW 7.5.1.6 to fix the issue. Unreal.

Note, I am running our server on Solaris 10, so maybe the
NSR_FAIL_ON_AUTH_ERROR   =   YES fix does not apply with Solaris.

I'm currently asking EMC for a full set of 7.4.4 clients, which didn't
exhibit the "feature".

Thanks for the reply.

Mark
