Thanks for all the replies.  I see now.  "File size limit exceeded" 
means just that on the file system being used to receive the file.  I 
understand also why you had me issue all those commands because you were 
trying to see where the file system limit was coming into play i.e. 
filesystem or out of space problems.  Slap forehead now. ;-)

I guess its time to plan the migration.

This explains my puzzlement.  I did download a test DVD ISO once before 
but it must have been on the NFS server directly.  I was testing the new 
backend during the FC3 rc series and the md5sum calculated correctly.

Thanks,
