RE: UW7, Informix 9.20, and 10 GB dbspace

Nope, you can't use an offset greater than 2000000 (2GB) -----Original Message----- From: Thanh [mailto:tqma@my-deja.com] Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 7:47 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: UW7, Informix 9.20, and 10 GB dbspace I know I can create a single slice of 10GB or more (in UW7) and I know there is a limit of 2GB chunk size (in pre-9.30). My question is can I use an offset to do that ? ie. onspaces -c -d mydbs ... -o 0 -s 2000000 ... -p /TenGigs onspaces -a mydbs ... -o 2000000 -s 2000000 ... -p /TenGigs onspaces -a mydbs ... -o 4000000 -s 2000000 ... -p /TenGigs onspaces -a mydbs ... -o 6000000 -s 2000000 ... -p /TenGigs onspaces -a mydbs ... -o 8000000 -s 2000000 ... -p /TenGigs I just don't have a disk yet to try out. As the onspaces manual does not say it, I guess my question should be is there a limit for '-o offset' besides being an unsigned integer ?
