David - Sorry for the delayed response. ulimit is unlimited. I am using the RPMs for RH EL3 downloaded from a mirror so I would assumed they have been built to allow > 2GB archives.
I am most likely going a different route at this point as my query response time is much too slow even with a 1GB archive table. Using a separate MyISAM table for each day of data (~ 132mb/3.2m rows) gives me the response time I need -- plus there are no scenarios in which I will be performing cross-day queries (I would guess I could use the merge table if necessary).
