Well, I successfully solved our 2 gig file limit problem with RAID tables without too much hassle, despite a dearth of documentation. However, it has introduced another significant problem. It would seem mysqldump isn't smart enough to look for raided tables. Taking the server down to do nightly backups is a very unfavorable solutions with orders coming in globally at all times. Is there a) a way to get mysqldump to work with raided tables or b) another way to do tape backups while retaining file integrity and not taking mysqld down?
