Bug Description
I have tried to copy a single .iso image from /home/user/
On ending I got the error message that the file is to big to get consolidated on the stick.
Enough space was available(16GB).
I have used a openSUSE12.2 64bit dvd image for transfer.

If the USB stick has a FAT or FAT32 filesystem, then individual files on it cannot be bigger than 4GB (this is a filesystem limitation, not a Linux issue).
