Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Error running Probkup
Backing up a database with -vs 1000000
Backing up to disk
Script worked in 7.3x and 9.1C
File size limit exceeded. (3697)
CHANGE:
Database dumped and loaded and database block size increased from 1k to 8k.
CAUSE:
The backup file being created is larger than the allowed file size limit for the OS. When the database blocksize is increased, in this specific case an increase of 1k to 8k, it affects the the file size being requested by the -vs parameter. With a 1K blocksize and a -vs of 1000000, the backup file created is 1 GB. With an 8K blocksize and a -vs of 1000000, the backup file created is 8 GB.
FIX:
The -vs (volume size) value needs to be adjusted according to the defined OS file size limit.
