Thus, set up the first dbspace at 2Gb, offset 0. Second dbspace size 2Gb, offset 2Gb (in whatever the units used by your system are). Third dbspace, size 2Gb, offset 4Gb. etc. It's thought safe to leave a small gap between dbspaces in case something oversteps [which NEVER happens ;-) in the real world ...] so I would suggest dbspaces of size 1.95Gb, offset increments of 2Gb. Good Luck MALC P.S. Why 'frostbit'? P.P.S. Why is the opposite of 'Increment' not 'Excrement'? This is especially relevant in the case of annual pay reviews ... -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/ Now offering spam-free web-based newsreading
