2GB File Limit AS2.1
Hi - I am running Advanced Server 2.1 and would like to know how to enable filesystem support for files larger than 2GB.
I'm fairly new to the world of Linux, so if this is a simple quesion to answer (and actually I hope it is!!), I apologise.... Thanks!! |
You don't need to enable it. But which program is it?

It's the Oracle database trying to create a tablespace with a datafile larger than 2GB...
Someone asked me this question, so I don't have a lot more information about the kernel version or configuration. I will try to get more details and post them.... Thanks for the responses.... |

Tell whoever asked you this to just recompile the kernel and include large file support in it. That's all it needs. :) |
Consider searching Google for "Oracle Large File Support".

Regards. PS. I searched myself on "Oracle Large File Support" and just about everything points directly back to the kernel itself. And Redhat AS 2.1 is just like every other distro, it still uses the Linux kernel... :rolleyes: |

This is definately a kernel problem - the Oracle database certainly supports files over 2GB - and I was pretty sure that AS2.1 supported >2GB files, just wasn't sure how to enable it.
Sorry to stir things up.... |

Glad to be of help anytime and glad to know it was a simple kernel problem that only takes a simple recompile to solve. |
With a 2.4 kernel? What do you recompile?
|
This thread should not die such a sudden death.
-- Typo corrected. |
I'm having the same issue when attempting to FTP a file larger than 2 GB to a RedHat AS 2.1 machine and the FTP stops at exactly 2 Gig. I, too, am a novice to Linux and would like to know if this is something that I can correct 'on the fly' or do I have to reformat (newfs for all you Solaris folks) the file system. If it can be accomplished, specifically which parameters and/or processes need to be changed. Thanks!

Turned out to be an ftp issue ... used ncftp instead
|
Exactly, because the Linux kernel 2.4 is not limited to 2 GiB file-systems. I would have guessed it to be the FTP client, because IIRC, wu-ftpd (as included with AS 2.1) can receive large files.
|
Just a thought... you can create an Oracle tablespace with mutiple datafiles. You should try that before kernel compiles.
HTH |
A 2.4 kernel need not be recompiled at all. Subject says this is about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1AS, which has a 2.4.9 kernel.
