In 8.3 you might have bigger chunk sizes, but not in 7 or 9. it seems that the maximum offset is also 2gb. does this mean that i could have a 4gb volume of raw disk space that is split into 2 2gb chunks? am i interpreting that correctly? thanks for the help. -- Ty O'Kelly DBA tokelly@maxor.com 806-324-5521
