Guys, Sorry this is a little off topic... Is there a size limit on DBM's? (Or Linux files for that matter.. )
I've thrown some details of my box/code below.. Thing is I'm getting a "write error" and it seems to always happen when the DBM gets to 2.0Gb .. (you may think I'm mad for trying to make 2G DBM's - but they don't usually get more than a couple of 100k - it's just a big site.. Honest ;-) Anyway - if there's anyone with similar experience or anyone has some advice for me it would be appreciated.. Thanks, J. Here are the details.. <Error> : write error at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/MLDBM.pm line 161. <Line to which it's reffering> : $s->{DB}->STORE($k, $v); <My use of MLDBM..> use GDBM_File; use MLDBM qw(GDBM_File Storable); <Perl-v> This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i686-linux <uname-a> Linux hope 2.4.7-10 #1 Thu Sep 6 16:46:36 EDT 2001 i686 unknown Jim Morrison _____________________________________ Technology & Development Partner Isotope LLP 9, 2 Laura Place Bath, BA2 4BH UK +44 (0) 1225 444674 +44 (0) 7940 937822 www.mediaisotope.com
