Dear CN,
Yes, thanks for you message. I am well aware of the
32 bit=2GB limitation in the ext2fs.
Currently, pgsql 6.5.x breaks up the files containing
tables into roughly 1 GB chunks. My question is: will
pgsql do the same for the files containing the indices?
Correction to info in my previous post: my index files are
approaching 1GB not 2GB.
