How to split large file in smaller files using Linux

Hello,

To split a large file in several smaller files, you can use Split from Linux. How it works? Man split.

split –bytes=1m /path/large/file /path/output/file/prefix

You can replace the suffix of –bytes with many values as follow:
kB = 1000
K = 1024
MB = 1000 * 1000
M = 1024 * 1024
G = 1000 * 1000 * 1000
GB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024

Best Regards,
Matheus

  1. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  4. I acquired more interesting things on this fat reduction issue. 1 issue is that good nutrition is very vital when dieting. A massive reduction in fast foods, sugary food, fried foods, sweet foods, pork, and bright flour products may be necessary. Having wastes harmful bacteria, and toxic compounds may prevent targets for losing fat. While selected drugs briefly solve the matter, the nasty side effects are usually not worth it, they usually never offer more than a non permanent solution. This can be a known undeniable fact that 95 of celebrity diets fail. Many thanks sharing your notions on this blog site.
