Hello!
We have had problems with big UV 64-bit files on HPUX11i PA-RISC.
As far as I remember, it is UV version 9.6.2.1 or 9.6.1.smth, where a static hashed file
bigger than 4GB could be killed by modifying a record (beyond the 4GB border?).
That is, if one is just adding records to a file it is not a problem, we've seen them reaching 13GB smoothly.
But modifying already existing record (so that its length changes?) may (it does not happen every time) mess up entire group.
From filepeek it looked like record headers were getting overwritten by record data.
Since then we are on 9.6.2.1, distributed every big file getting record updates so that none of them exceeds 4GB.
Hope, this helps.
Aleksejs.

Hi,
Thanks for all the responses.
Ulimit, is set to unlimited so that shouldn't be the problem. Our unix support people cant find any other HPUX kernel parameter that would affect the maximum file size. Glen's recollection is correct - HPUX support file sizes up to 128 terabytes.
It is looking increasingly as if this is a Universe 9.6 issue or a 9.6 on HPUX issue..... is anyone running UV 9.6 with files over 4 GB?
thanks again......
