Hello and welcome to the forum
Converter does support large files (more than 4GB); currently it handles files up to 2TB. To be 100% sure I have explicitly tested a conversion of a 32bit RHEL 5.1 with a 5GB file in it.
This is the first time I see such a complaint. I can only speculate about two possible reasons:
- a network error that has confused the 'untaring' (tar_1.20 is running on the destination VM)
- the tar on the source machine doesn't support larger than 4GB files (I don't really believe this is possible)
Have you tried the same conversion again?
Regards,
