[Q] How do I copy large file to SD?

---

Anybody has any idea why I'm getting "file is too large to copy" when copying 7 GB file to internal SD on Viewsonic G-Tablet when 13GB is free?
I guess it's becouse it's formatted as FAT32. So how do I exactly get any MKVs which I have which are all more then 4GB to play on my G-Tablet? Can I reformat SD as exFAT or some other format which supports bigger file sizes.

i know after a while of me copying and deleting stuff my available space would get smaller. after 2 weeks of use i noticed this, so i erased everything off of the internal and i was left with 5gb of free space. i reformatted to fat32 and had my 12 or 13gb back.

Issue is not with available space but file size limitation on FAT32 of 4 GB.

ah i see, don't know then :/

I don't think there's any fix, at this time. I read that Froyo's VOLD (which controls the mouting process) only supports vFAT. The previous VOLD at least supported EXT2/3(?) which was helpful for us Linux folks.

This is really a big issue given the limitations of FAT32 and the fact that none of these bozo vendors can agree on a standard format.
