Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I've just tried to copy a 5GB file on my friend's USB key.
The trasfer stalled when reaching 4GB and I was wondering why this happens.
Then I checked the USB filesystem, and figured out it is vFAT, which has the limit of 4GB.

Nautilus does not tell anything, and leaves the transfer open (and un-cancellable with the cancel button), as if it is still running.
