Hello,

I have an Oracle Express Edition 10g running on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 server. I have an Oracle database file which is 2.1 GB in size. I am not able to open this file using the application or the Oracle sql developer. The error message that I get is:
ORA-01110: data file 5: '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/service_3_0.dbf'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
Linux Error: 13: Permission denied

I think this has to do with the fact that since it is not a 64-bit Linux, it does not support files larger than 2GB. What do you think i should do to tackle this problem?

Hello,

Assuming that it is a Linux problem where files larger than 2GB are not supported, what do I have to do to fix that problem?

Linux/Unix systems have supported large files for quite some time.

My money bets "Permission denied" really is a permissions issue. File system permissions, mount permissions, SELinux?
