Hi, I have a question about using Informix DSA on 9GB (and more) disks on PC SCO OpenServer servers. Of course I could divide the disk in one partition and make 5 filesystems and set Informix to work with filesystem devices (of course raw devices coresponding to filesystems). But I think I cannot use partition devices due to the 2G chunk limit of Informix DSA and 4 partitions limit on SCO PC servers. Is Informix going to increase the chunk size (disks are getting bigger and bigger) ? Thank You, Octav -- Octav Chiriac Phone: (373) 2 21 20 96 NetInfo S.R.L.
