Cygwin support for large files

[Rocco Scappatura]

Hello,

I'm using cygwin. I'm using SSH service to connect to the cygwin machine
and to do some shell activities. When I've tried to zip some files on
this machine I get:

$ zip -r "E:/tmp-backup/wslogdb_12102009_042901_log.zip" "G:/Backup/"
  adding: Backup/ (stored 0%)
  adding: Backup/master_db_200910112345.BAK (deflated 95%)
  adding: Backup/model_db_200910112345.BAK (deflated 95%)
  adding: Backup/msdb_db_200910112345.BAK (deflated 88%)
  adding: Backup/Northwind_db_200910112345.BAK (deflated 81%)
  adding: Backup/pubs_db_200910112345.BAK (deflated 90%)
  adding: Backup/WSlogs_1_db_200910112346.BAK
zip error: Entry too big to split, read, or write (file exceeds Zip's
4GB uncompressed size limit)

I fear that it is the kernel (cygwin engine) that can't manage file
greater than 4GB.

Is there any way to workaround this limitation?

Thanks,

rocsca
