RE: Max data file size on NTFS partition

For what it is worth....the largest datafile I have created on a NTFS partition has been 10gig...not sure what the max is, would be interested to know.

I think the max size for FAT is 4 gig. Not sure though.

thanks,
C-

Hello to all my most favorite DBAs...

Yes, believe it or not, I checked the archives, Metalink and Oracle documentation, but all come up with a different answer to my question. What is the max data file size for an NTFS partition on Advanced Server?

I'm running Oracle 8i Release 2 8.1.6 Standard...soon to be Enterprise. The Oracle 8i documentation states 80EB on an NTFS partition, but I've seen reference to 4GB limits everywhere else. Quite different, wouldn't you say?

The reason I'm asking the question is we keep running into errors. The most common were, write/open error block X invalid parameter passed and unable to extend file X.

I would appreciate any help. I'm new, so please be gentle...

Ashley
