Re: Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.1) + Redhat Linux 7.2 = Cannot create tablespace file > 2 gb

I don't just blindly post requests for help until I have exhausted all other possibilities.

I have looked, I have searched google for DAYS. I've read over 100 arcticles on Oracle8i and Redhat 7.2. They all address the installation problems but nothing about the largefile issues.

I've really only found two references to >2gb tablespace issues. One is for SUSE Linux which basically says it isn't supported and the other is for Redhat Enterprise Edition which says that it supports it (that is not an option for this client).

Give me one article that discusses Redhat 7.2 + Oracle 8i + greater than 2gb tablespace support that does say RedHat Enterprise Edition.
