Hi Aleksejs,
thanks for that info. It does seem to fit in with what we have encountered.
We are restoring the file from backup as fixtool isnt able to fix it.
Once that is done, we will convert it to a distributed file and then
rebuild the missing data.
thanks again to everyone...

Subject: RE: [U2] Universe file size limit
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.
