Uh... don't think so! -- we're running UnixWare 7 on Intel hardware (Xeons) and large file support is a matter of enabling the largefiles option on the Veritas (VxFS) filesystem. That being said, I only use 2Gig datafiles because it seems foolhardy to me to use >2Gig datafiles unless you have an obvious need for them. And if you do, then test it a lot! And make sure all of your programs support large files too (some versions of tar/cpio/gzip don't)

Intel hardware can only handle 2Gb files sizes max. Even if the hardware can support large files, it is still recommended that you do not have large datafiles. You need to partition your tablespaces into multiple datafiles. This facilitates backups and restores and you can put the datafiles into different hard drives increasing i/o performance. ltiu Adriano Freire wrote: >Ok ltiu, >REDHAT 7.3 kernel-2.4.18-10 > >----- Original Message ----- >To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 1:18 PM > > > > >>What's HadHat 7.3? >> >>A new Linux distro pattered after RedHat 7.3? >> >>ltiu >> >>Adriano Freire wrote: >> >> >> >>>Gurus, >>> >>>I've some problems with datafiles > 2Gb in HadHat 7.3.
