OSF/1 on Alpha AXP systems will use 64 bit integers for off_t, allowing very large files and file systems. Using LVM on OSF/1 you can take parts of disks and build large file systems. This isn't really striping because the chunks are too large, but it will get you virtual devices of the required capacity. If you do end up needing Striping, please let me know. I'm the person currently maintaining ULTRIX Striping and will likely have to do it for OSF if there is need. > >Marc Cozzi >Univ of Notre Dame >cozzi@convex.rad.nd.edu > -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.cxo.dec.com
