I’m trying to copy large (few GB) file using cp and the call fails with sendfile: unknown system error -208860302. This bug appears to be open already ( IOError from cp with large file on Windows · Issue #30723 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub ), but I wonder what would be a reasonable platform independent …

What version of Julia are you on? Looking at the github history, this seems like it might already be fixed on recent versions.

Any workaround to a bug in Base.cp?
