File Size Limit In HP-UX.

[Yogeeraj_1]

hi,

http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/os/lgfiles4.pdf

contains all the information you need.

If you want your MYSQL database file to extend beyond 2GB, you must configure your file system to support Largefiles!

Large files is a technology that must be explicitly enabled. A system will not support large files just because it has been updated to a release of HP-UX that supports large files. The advantage of this is that if large
files are not needed, then they do not need to be enabled on the system and everything will continue to work as it has in the past.

do you need any further clarifications?

kind regards

Hi,

There are two things which can be involved in this. First you need to look for free space for adding datafile and secondly you need to add that using your MYSQL database procedure.( which I am not aware of)

You can find out the free space in the file system using "bdf" command. If you have free space in the file system you can use MYSQL documentation to add data file.

But in any case it can not be of unlimited size. You can add another data file of say 5GB,10GB or even more.

If you do not have free space then either it can be allocated from unallocated space or if you do not have unallocated space then you need to add more storage space by adding hardware.

HTH,
