Hello, There are basically two things you should consider: 1) Switch to InnoDB tables and create several data files just under 2GB each 2) Use MyISAM RAID option This requires you to compile your MySQL with --with-raid configuration parameter. Then MySQL will create separate 00, 01, 02, 03 and so on directories with a piece of your table in each of them. See Manual section 6.5.3 (CREATE TABLE syntax) for detailed coverage. You will want RAID_TYPE=STRIPED configuration since that facilitates for the spreading of the .MYD files.
