4Gb is a magic number for some O.S and filesystem configurations - check the operating system configuration.
2Gb is the address limit for 32 bit files - yes - and doubling the address space increases the limit, but if the infrastructure underneath limit spave then you are on a hiding to nothing. [ And don't forget ulimit ].

I like to push the envelope. We are going to be upgrading to uv10 in the very near future. I just heard that 64bit files begin blowing up at around 4g on my release. What a coincidence, I have a file that is currently at 3.5g. Guess I'd better push a little harder for that upgrade. -------------- Original message -------------- > UV 9.6.1, 64-bit files AND secondary indexes? > I suspect there's bravery award in the mail for you Scott! ;-) > > I would have thought that an upgrade was definitely indicated. > Alternatively, could you make the file distributed rather than 64-bit? > > > "Improving" CREATE.FILE may work, but it's absolutely not somewhere I'd > want to go > > > Mike > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, 6 July 2005 05:09 > > To: u2-Users > > Subject: [U2] [UV] indexed 64 bit files > > > > Hi all, > > > > UV9.6.1.1.14, HPUX 11 > > > > I converted a file that had secondary indices to 64bit.
