Ask the UNIX people to mount the file system with largefiles option Waleed -----Original Message----- From: John P Weatherman [mailto:asahoshi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 3:57 PM To: oracle-l Subject: EXP > 2GB All, I have an export (9.2.0.4 on Solaris 9) that has recently grown beyond the default exp 2GB filesize limit. For the time being, I have implemented exporting through a named pipe to generate the file "pre-compressed". However, I think I heard about there being a patch to relink exp to handle large file sizes at some point. I can't find anything on Google or Metalink right now. Am I miss-remembering something or does somebody know about this/know where the documentation is? TIA, John P Weatherman Oracle Database Administrator Advance America
