Sorry, I still don't get it. Assuming I have a GiB of RAM, why can I
not load a 256 MiB file to RAM, and then write it to a file system?

I have definitely dealt with images and files bigger than 8 MiB in
thepast, so I really don't see where any buffer problem could be.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
