Re: Maximum slice size - 2 GB? Should this be an implied setting?

Hello,

I don't think it would be a good reasons to limit the slice size. The 
2GB limitation is due to the system (see doc/LIMITATIONS of pre-release 
2 (the last for version 2.0.0). Today, less and less system have this 
limitation. There is also a limitation at 4GB on some few other systems.

In your situation, which error dar exits with ?

Cheers,
Denis.
