Hi all,


What is the Maximum allowed Raw device File Size for Oracle 7 and Oracle 8
Database Server on Sun Solaris 2.7 ?


I've heard of Solaris Kernel Panics with Raw devices of Size around/over 4GB
with lower Solaris versions ?



Also, Is there any Known drawback in Using such big Files in a database. The
file is going to be Striped across many disks anyway.



Thanks for any inputs..



Sam
