Some file systems have a restriction on maximum file size. For example, FAT32 allows files only up to 2GB.You can split the OVF files from a generated package into pieces of a specified maximum size. The default measurement is megabytes (keyword mb). You can specify other units using one of the following keywords:
| Unit | Keyword |
|---|---|
| Bytes | b |
| Kilobytes | kb |
| Gigabytes | gb |
For example, to create an OVF package optimized for a FAT32 file system, use the following command:
> ovftool --chunkSize=2gb <source> package.ovf
Each file chunk has a sequentially numbered suffix. For example, for a 6GB disk, the chunks have these names:
disk1.vmdk.000000000, disk1.vmdk.000000001, disk1.vmdk.000000002
