Can anyone tell me the maximum file size in red hat Linux 2.4 and Solaris 9? We had a problem on one of our Linux boxes that support told us that log files cannot be large than 2.4 gig in size or the

The 2.4 kernel itself can handle well over 2.0GB, it depends on what version of glibc you have loaded. Solaris 8 was 1TB, Solaris 9 depends on whether its 32bit/64bit and what FS you are using, QFS/U

What was happening is the file size limit was being reached on the Linux server and the log could no longer be written to. The ndmp backup would go through all the tapes and then error our with a 96
It was true of 32 bit. The limit was actually less than 2 GB. Even without that if the application itself isn't compiled with "largefiles" support it would hit this limit. Since most Linux is still 3

The log file or the catalog? Strange as the log file locations (/usr/openv/netbackup/logs) are completely optional and are ignored if not there. I would be interested in the outcome of this tech note

Yes. It's the NDMP log file. And its more of a Linux thing then netbackup as it only happens on Linux or at least they (Symantec) are only seeing that on Linux. The tech not is not a public one that

This is a wrong statement. 32-bit Linux does support files bigger than 2GB. It's NetBackup binaries compiled with ancient libraries that do not support big files. And 32 bit has nothing to do with 2G
It's not "a Linux thing" - it's an application thing. It's just that Symantec's code is only broken on LInux. That's doesn't make it a Linux issue - it's still the app that's broken. There's nothing
