This sounds like maybe it is a "large file" problem.
UNIX has actual physical limits to file size determined by the number of bytes a 32 bit file pointer can index, about 2.4 GB. For older filesystems or runtimes.
Depending on your system, you may or may not have large file support. Try
if you have an older unix.
If you can't find how or if large file support exists for your box, consider closing the first file just before it reaches 0x7fffffff bytes in length, and opening an additional new file.
I want to have a permanent file created - and limit the size that this file can grow.. I want a circular file..
ie max size of file is 10 mb.. and if any new data written to file the oldest data removed..
How can I do this?

Hi,
I have a problem writing or copying a file 2GB or larger to either the second or third disk on my C8000. I've searched this forum and found some good information on this but still nothing to solve the problem.
I'm running hpux 11i, JFS3.3 and disk version 4 (from fstyp) on all 3 disks.

Can you help. My server sunning solaris 9 on x86 platform pretty much hung for a few hours... I could not use telnet or ssh to the box - it kept refusing connection. A few hours later - I was able to log in again.
The server has not rebooted but here are the first errors in the messages log... (5 Replies)
Hello -
O/S is UnixWare 7.1.4
My prefered method of copying files between servers is 'rcp', which does not recognize symbolic links; therefore, files are duplicated many times over.
To avoid this duplication, I would like to use 'tar' and/or 'cpio' and pipe them through 'rcp', but... (1 Reply)

New API's to support large files in 32-bit applications. These API interfaces are not a part of the POSIX standard and may be removed in
the future.

APPLICATION USAGE
The standard POSIX interfaces may be used by 32-bit applications to create and access large files if compiled with set to 64.
The interfaces described here are alternatives to the standard ones, and are enabled by defining
For 64-bit applications, access to large files is automatic, as long as the underlying file system is enabled for large files. The inter-
faces on this man page are available to 64-bit applications, for convenience in porting, but provide no additional capabilities. The
exception is which is not visible to 64-bit applications.
