Subject: Using med on Large gmeta Files<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
Hello, I am trying to run the utility "med" on<br>
files larger than 2GB and it is failing. I can<br>
display these gmeta files with idt. I am running<br>
in an environment that has from 8GB to 240GB of<br>
memory for the buffer.<br>
<br>
Here is the command I am trying to run (I am<br>
trying to split out all the frames within a<br>
gmeta file):<br>
<br>
med -e 'split $ frame.' foo.gmeta<br>
<br>
Here is the error message:<br>
<br>
med: command failed <split><br>
<br>
Here is a list of the file sizes which succeed<br>
or fail using med:<br>
<br>
ls -l<br>
FAIL <a href="tel:2262319200" value="+12262319200">2262319200</a> Jul 22 22:21 f1.gmeta<br>
FAIL 2216193120 Jul 22 22:02 f2.gmeta<br>
OK 2079290880 Jul 22 22:19 f3.gmeta<br>
<br>
ls -lh<br>
FAIL 2.2G Jul 22 22:21 f1.gmeta<br>
FAIL 2.1G Jul 22 22:02 f2.gmeta<br>
OK 2.0G Jul 22 22:19 f3.gmeta<br>
<br>
Are there any suggestions of how to remedy this ?<br>
Maybe a setting in the .hluresfile file ?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Bruce<br>
