2 gig limit and large disks

I have run across a problem and am looking for help. With new disk arrays using larger disks (i.e. 9 gig devices) and raid-5 (5 disk sets) how can I break up an array of 36 gig if the operating system will only allow 8 slices and informix will only allow a 2 gig chunk + offset??? =20 Am i missing something or is raid-5 not an option =20 I am on ODS 7.23 uc1 and solaris 2.5 =20 Any insight on this problem will be greatly appreciated. =20 ***************************************************************************= ***** **** Jack Russo email: jack.russo@frx.com =20= **** *** Forest Laboratories phone: 516-493-6089 =20= *** **** 500 Commack Road fax : 516-493-6091 =20= **** ***** Commack, NY 11725 =20= ***** ***************************************************************************= ***** =20
