64 bit file too big

64 bit times revisited..
Now, when you apply an old-code 32-bit wc to a large file, it'll say something like "wc: bigfile: file too large". This also demonstrates that just using open64 is NOT enough. You also have to make sure, for example, that the count of characters in a big file won't overflow your variables.

Added ability to explicitly choose support for 32 bit or 64 bit file offsets on all platforms. Define the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS preprocessor symbol to either 32 using the ACE file i/o wrappers, and when we try to write a file greater than 2 Gb, we get errno 27 (which implies that the size of the file is too large).

Breaking the RISC rules [Was: Re: Proposal: 16bit instruction]
The so-called 64 bits being discussed in the industry is really more like 33 or 35 bits of addressing for applications just a little bit too big for 2**32 system-wide 64 bit address where binary level linkages can be stored to connect objects (instead of always using names and the associated file-type opens and

max page file on 64 bit server exhange 2007?
I expect Hans Reiser would be delighted too. Maybe return a file descriptor if the file was too big or it blocked. Maybe provide some basic stat data Make the ABI be 64-bit for almost everything, with proper alignment of course. Somebody slap the person who put a 32-bit ino_t in the latest stat syscall.

Suggestions for own file system structure / algorithm ?
... wonders whether that's because it's too big] [Tim] That would sure be my guess -- 2.5e9 is too large to fit in a signed 32-bit int. Confirm by trying to open a 2Gb file. If you peek thru Objects/fileobject.c, you'll find that Python is happy to use eg 64-bit fseek, ftell etc if they're available.

It has 4GB memory. the gcore of a process with more than 2GB memory give ths following error dumpcore(): write: File too large The size of the file is Isn't gcore application 64bit aware, especially on this 64 bit kernel? 2. Will setting largefile option on the filesystem, alleviate this 2Gb limitation?

write failed File too large files > 2G
The fact remains, once again we are starting to get too big for our britches and a 32-bit address space is too small for some objects. This really hurts Un*x (limiting a file system to 2Gb, although you can have many file systems). A "flat" 64-bit address space is unlikely without some radical changes.

2 gig limit for UFS?
For long term, I suggest a mechanism, that automatically assigns 64 bit integer, if the number gets too big. Reproduce code: --------------- $fsize = filesize($path); // returns invalid if file is too big, the rest of the program will fail, if I assume, that there will be a number OR $stats = stat($path);

Large File Support with Solaris
Consider: 8 bit PCs: crude single tasking o/s like CP/M, 1.2MB floppies, MTBF in days, and everyone had problems too big to fit. slots (Linux has a 64GB limit now) and budget, realtime better-than-TV multimedia displays, Internet connections, very large cheap disks (20GB/$95, 72GB/$310) and large file support.

Python 2.1 alpha 1 released!
Another solution which works even with current monit versions is to compile it with 64-bit support on platforms which supports it (the large files then aren't problem). Which should be as simple as building with $(getconf LFS_CFLAGS) as part of the CPPFLAGS passed to the compiler. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever

Once people upgrade to 64 bit computers ... and then later to 64-bit Operating-Systems, then file sizes will probably be large enough to last for a while. Jack C Lipton ---- liptonsoup1...@yahoo.com If I knew what I was doing I would worry more. So would you, too. McNealy: "Beware the foul beast!

Bug: files larger than 2 Gbytes
If you ask to map a file too large for the combined physical and swap memory, it will return MAP_FAILED, but in between it returns a bogus pointer. Are you using the proper types for sizes? looks fine and works for me; I'd just not use "long long" as both "long" and "long long" are the same type in 64 bit mode.

Solaris 8 mmap returns an invalid address in 64-bit code
Check the documentation for your operating system to find out what too large might mean in the context of the current operation. You say you are writing to a file on a filesystem, it is possible the the size of the file may be too big. Im not sure if HP-UX 11.0. is 64 bit or 32 bit but either way your file that's

INN Problems - Slow processing and not maintaining groups
Older AIX binaries cannot make use of large files, the application must be recompiled (and perhaps modified) first. It is possible to recompile a program with a defined constant which causes the old filesystem related calls to be remapped to their 64 bit counterparts, although this may not work in all cases.

Can you demonstrate that IDEA does not have these properties over its 64-bit block? Yes I could have made the key from short ascii different. And as Terry complained it is big.

Does gunzip have a file size limit ?
Even if it did, the size of history files is getting too big to leave many useful bits for the tag. An easy, if not inexpensive, solution is to buy a machine with a bigger word size. A DEC Alpha would do nicely with its 64 bit words! More practical for most of us would be hacking on dbz a bit to give the tag its

too big to eat?
The pointers may still only need 48 bits if the selectors are still 16 bits, but since that's not a multiple of 32 (inefficient memory access) they may occupy 64 bits. Then 64-bit computers will become common, and all will be well in the land again. Until the day a Rubik's Cube puzzler wants to calculate all
