Overcoming 2GB Filesystem Limitation
Hi,
I am using Redhat Linux 7.2 and all my filesystem partitions are ext3 filesystems.
Problem is I am not able to create a file whose size is > 2GB. How to overcome this

Please tell me how many partitions u are having and what is the size of each partition and...are all partitions having the linux ext3 filesystem?
Hello!
In fact ext3 has not 2GB file size limit (as far as i remember it can address up to 4GB+). But there's a several application that can't deal with files larger than 2GB.

Hi all,

I installed Oracle 8i database on this linux system and this error occurs when I am creating a datafile of size > 2 GB. But I am sure that Oracle can handle file size > 2 GB. Its not app. limitation.

Ususally just the applications are the culprit, 'cause they are not compiled proper. Some programs have special commandline options for that, for some (I know of tar, apache) you need to take care when compiling (for example using: #define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE , or: CFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BIT

Hi JammyPak
I tried this cmd'dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=100M count=25', it is creating files > 2GB. So, I think program
might be the culprit. The application what I am using is
Oracle 8.1.7 , Release 3. So, I need to troubleshoot this error from this application only. Its not OS (linux) limitation.
Thanks
