Keywords: spanning, file, partition, disk, I/O Message-ID: <115@ireland.nsc.com> Date: 18 Aug 89 23:13:40 GMT Organization: National Semiconductor, Santa Clara Lines: 18 I have an application which writes large amounts of data to a disk file. At times the file tends to exceed the disk partition, resulting the application to crash. Is there a way to span the output file across different disk partitions (which may be on the same or seperate physical disks) ? Application is in C and Fortran running under Unix (SunOS 4.0.3). thanks in advance, -Anil. -- Anil Somani uucp: {sun|hplabs|amdahl|decwrl}!nsc!parns!somani National Semiconductor Domain: somani@parns.nsc.com 2900 Semiconductor Dr. Corporate Design Automation, M/S D3-677 Santa Clara, CA 95052-8090 Phone: (408)721-4146
