SunOS (and a lot of other oses) have a 2gb size limit on files. It's built into the os and not a problem in zope. I'm curious as to what the answer is. Can python be compiled as a 'large file aware' application, or can you tell zope to split your db into multiple files?

Actually, while he says SunOS 5.7, that's actually Solaris 2.7, which does not have the 2Gb limit on files. However, you do have to do some voodoo when you build Python I believe to get this enabled. I'd look into the ./configure options. This is also required on Alpha to get the 64bit offsets.
