Jason is this 180Gigs of files at the same time, as in 180gig's of file
handles, as in 10 files open, 10,000 files open, etc.. Or, is this 180GB of
file size(s) open. In other words couldn't open more that 180 files (at the
same time) that are 1 gig in size each, or couldn't open 1 file that's, say
300 gig ? If the second part is true, this is, in effect, saying that a
database can't be larger than 180GB
My head hurts ;)

Fred,

No you're not confused at all, NT can not have more than 180GB of files open
at any one time. The limit on 2K is 192, 24? or 3?? depending on which
documentation you look at.

We couldn't find any OS tweak to get around it.

We had this problem with a database server with > 20 x 20GB databases, after
a while the server just stopped. After an age of investigation we got the
problme down to this limit in NT4.
