Re: 2Gig limit on Chunk Plus Offset

Isn't this just limited to Solaris x86?? Under Solaris x86 you can have 16 slices per disk ie 32GB for Informix Re 5 slices, you can format it to 8 slices if you use slice 2 as well, so you can get 16GB on a disk for Informix Paul Watson WF Software Ltd Tel: +44 1436 674729 Fax: +44 1436 678729 www.wfsoftware.com/informix # If you broke it, hide the evidence >>> Joyce Cunningham <jcunningham@ntninc.com> 09/23/99 02:55PM >>> Steve, If you are using Solaris, you can edit the output of 'prtvtoc' and create six additional slices with 'fmthard'. There is a discription of this on the Solaris developer website http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/slices.html.
