Here is the server configuration:

Dual P3 Dell Server with 1.5 GB RAM
Redhat Linux 7.2
Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.1)
Two Oracle databases created
Oracle TNS Listener configured

Everything appears to be working properly with both database instances, however we are unable to create a tablespace file that is larger than 2 GB.

I know that Oracle 8i supports tablespace files that are larger than 2 GB because I have setup Oracle 8i installations on Windows 2000 and have created > 2gb tablespace files.

From the Redhat website I see that there is a version called Redhat Enterprise Edition that says it has largefile support for Oracle 8i, but is it possible without getting the Enterprise Edition? If so, what needs to be done to provide that support?

Thanks in advance.
