You don't understand. You need to use a operating system which has a filesystem which lifts the 2 GB limit. By default from every Linux distrobtion I have used, if the OS has lifted the limit then they usually fix all the programs to uses the new file size capabilities. Raid doesn't help at all

Yes, all programs which don't have built in limits can go smoewhere in the range of I think 8 TB but I have only tested it to 50 GB with MySQL. As for Solaris this is also true. Benjamin Arai [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 14 Jan 2002, Dr. Frank Ullrich wrote: > Hi, > > Jeremy Zawodny wrote: > > >
