All, After converting to my partition to Reiser, I was able to index and db came to exactly 2 GB and did not crash. In my haste to see if it had worked, I failed to notice it was exact and not exceeding 2 GB. The next index (a few days ago), HtDig did in fact crash. I have had to adjust .conf to get smaller headers so I can stay under 2 GB. Sorry to dissapoint, I thought I had it licked.
I know of at least 2 others having this same problem and feel the FAQ 1.10 is not correct. If there is anyone else running HtDig on x86 Linux with db's in excess of 2 GB, please let us know the trick! I can manually create files up to 100 GB (all of my free space) but dig dies everytime at 2 GB, even on Reiser. Any comment/input from the developers? Subject: Re: [htdig] having a database bigger than 2 GB Peter Asemann's bits of Wed, 17 Jul 2002 translated to: >The file system is, as I have been assured, capable of handling files bigger >than 2 GB - it's an ext3 linux file system from SuSE Linux 8.0 (kernel You might want to double check the information you have been provided. Based on everything I have read (admittedly limited), ext3 is just ext2+journaling; it doesn't address the 2GB limit. >2.4.18). So probably it's htdigs "fault" that the rundig process runs into file >size limit problems? Is that... a thing one can fix by just editing a few lines ht://Dig itself doesn't place any limits on file size. In fact, just a couple weeks ago, someone wrote the list and stated that after switching to the Reiser filesystem (from ext3) they were able to start working with >2GB database files.
