Hi,

I have a mysql database with me which is currently around 4GB in size. When I do a mysqldump for this database and redirect it to a file, I have problem with the file because of the limitation of the linux filesystem of 2GB is there any way I can increase the filesystem limit.

Currently I am using gzip to compress the data and redirect it to the file. This however works but I do not want to compressed this file.

TIA.

Ciao, Volstan Stephen.

Hack the kernel. (Try upgrading; perhaps a newer kernel has a bigger limit.)

OTOH, I believe some other OSes have a bigger limit.

You don't want to compress 4GB of data?? Why??
