hi,

I have 4 database files and the last file has hit 2G limit. The
database is running on firebird 1.0 at solaris 2.8.

The database application cannot write data to the database because of
the I/O problem (file size exceed 2G limit). The errors was shown as

When we try to gbak, ibserver is terminated adnormally after 1 hour.
The errors were shown below:
gbak: ERROR: Error reading data from the connection.
gbak: ERROR: gds_$receive failed
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors
gbak: ERROR: Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
gbak: ERROR: Error reading data from the connection.
gbak: ERROR: Connection reset by peer

Then, we try gfix, different error were prompted:
Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
-Error reading data from the connection.

When I checked the interbase.log, seems like ibserver was restarted.
Below are the errors:
