can a batch script detect the file size?
« on: December 20, 2006, 02:34:53 PM »
hi everyone,
I have a quite strange configuration on my net, and since my server's HDD is too small I transfer all the completed downloads on a NAS.
This NAS is formatted in FAT32 (can't do different...) so, as u all know, i can't copy on it files larger than 2GB.

And now the question:

how can I detect the file size with a bash script, so i can select what file to move and what to leave?

thx for suggestions :)

Hi Karhandras!

Try stat -c%s filename.

You don't know the driver : http://www.fs-driver.org

You can write in win without a problem in ext2 and ext3.

Probe aMule in ext2 o 3 in win also ;-)

thx wuischke that fix perfectly :)

thx even to AnimAlf but the problem is that the NAS firmware doesn't allow me to format the HDD in other FS, and i even has a mini linux kernel inside!
So I just have to take it that way (or hack it when warranty expires :D )
