Yeahbut . . . some unix (& linux?) utilities do not work well with the >2GB files. I recall trouble using some file moving utilities. Some of these worked, and some didn't: ftp, rcp, cp, tar, cpio ... I don't remember which. A couple commercial backup utilities failed, too. That was 4 years ago. & it was HP & DEC & Solaris unix, not Linux.
So be careful. The restriction may not be with UV as much as with other OS utilities you might need in the middle of some sort of disaster recovery. cds > UniVerse files can go over 2GB if they are created / resized > as "64-bit". > I have done this on UV 10.0 on Win2K3, it works! me too. > You can also use UniVerse "distributed files" to partition > your data so that a set of less-than-2GB files appear as a > single logical entity. > This is the approach we took rather than go 64-bit. me too. > > Does Universe have a file size limit?
