Re: [Fwd: Chunk Question]

No. Despite hardware and OS support for multiple hundreds of GB for logical volumes and file systems these days, Informix's max is still 2GB. Heck, 2GB isn't even a DOS limitation anymore with FAT32! Anyway, you need to measure the TOTAL of the offset and the chunk. This TOTAL can not exceed 2GB. So, if you have a 4GB drive, you cannot use the second half by offsetting the amount of the first half, because the offset of the first + the size of the second half total to 4GB, which is much more than the 2GB limit. What you'll need to do is use your OS's logical volume manager to split your 4GB drive into two 2GB logical volumes, then feed the raw versions of those LVs to Informix.
