Adjusting Database Tables for File-System Variations

File-system limitations vary between NFS and non-NFS file systems. You might need to break up large tables when you migrate to a new operating system.

For example, if you have a three-gigabyte table, but your operating system allows only two-gigabyte files, break up your table into separate files before you migrate. For more information, see your IBM Informix: Administrator's Guide.

Important:
Informix database servers support only certified versions of NFS. For information about the NFS products you can use to NFS mount a storage space for an Informix database server, be sure to check product compatibility information.
