How V5 PROGRESS changes the ULIMIT
900910-GFS01In version 5 of PROGRESS, there is a hard-coded limitation on the size
of a database file. PROGRESS sets the ULIMIT on your system to the
value 1,500,000 for all systems except the ARIX S90. This means that
for a system with a 512 byte block size, the maximum size of a single
volume database or multi-volume database extent is 768,000,000 bytes.
For 1,024 bytes blocks, it's 1,536,000,000 bytes.
Please note that this hard-coded limitation does not exist in Version
6 of PROGRESS.
Pay particular attention to those customers receiving PROGRESS error
303 (UNIX maximum file size exceeded). They may be subject to this
unforseen limitation.
