Error 1117 Max limit on number of database files or extents
In V6, the maximum limit of files a multi-volume database can have is
100. Database files include the .db file, data extents (.d1, .d2,
.d3, etc.) the before-image file or extents (.bi, .b1, .b2, etc.) and
the after-image file.
In V6 there is a limit of 100 file descriptors per database.
Each extent of the .db file, .bi file and .ai file may
require up to 3 file descriptors. Fewer will be required
if the database is a single volume database.
If the limit is reached, the following error message will result:
bksavfd: More than 30 file descriptors needed for DB. (1117)
[NOTE: The error message lists a limit of 30 which is incorrect, the
limit is in fact 100.]
If this error occurs, the database should be restructured to contain
fewer extents. See Chapter 6, "Multi-Volume Databases", in the
System Administration II manual for more information on modifying
the database structure.
In V7 and up, the maximum number of database files is 256 for UNIX
platforms.
The limit for the number of multi-volume extents has increased from
100 to 256 for all systems that support more than 3 charachters after
the "." in a file name. This change was made in 7.3A For DOS,
Windows, etc. machines the limit is still 99 due to naming
constraints (i.e dbname.d99).
