RE: on big mysql .MYD files and linux's 2GB file size limit
-Original Message- From: Eric Gunnett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Depends on what file system you are running that is a ext2 limit if you move to ext3 or reiser you should be fine. But then a default config on MySQL will run into a 4.29 Gig limit, which you can change. Ext2 has not had a 2 gig filesize limit for a long time. I've created files as large as 16 gigabytes on ext2fs with no problems. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You have to compile your programs with special options to get 64-bit offsets. I'm certain MySQL does this. I'm just pointing out that it's just as incorrect to say that there is a 2GB limit as to say flat out that there is no limit. The truth is more complicated than either statement. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
on big mysql .MYD files and linux's 2GB file size limit
Is the 2GB filesize limit in linux still there? Specially in Gentoo and Debian linux? If so, how can this be addressed when your mysql's .MYD files reach 2GB? Is there any way MySQL can split really big .MYD files? Regards, Shannon __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
