Re: InnoDB and raw tablespace

[Gabriel Ricard]

No, files can be bigger than 2GB. In OSX prior to Panther there is a 
2GB per-process memory limit though. Then again, on anything other than 
the PowerMac G5 this doesn't matter because the G5 is the only Mac that 
can hold more than 2GB of RAM.

2GB limit? On MacOS X?

On almost every OS I've played with lately, the file size limit is 
massive -
as in far beyond what disc capacity today will allow. Does MacOS X 
have a 2GB
limit?

Huh?  What's wrong with ":autoextend"?

:autoextend works great until the 2GB file limit is reached.  Then you

have to add another
autoextending tablespace file.  If I can just make a large raw
tablespace, then I don't have to
bother with adding additional tablespace files every so often.
