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.

Some other Unix versions have added this (well, indirectly, through disk striping) but in general, no. You'll have to manage this yourself by closing and opening new files (or buying a bigger disk :-) -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die, Purveyors to the Trade 1330 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02146, (617) 739-0202 Internet: bzs@skuld.std.com UUCP: encore!xylogics!skuld!bzs or uunet!skuld!bzs
