Hi.
I have a problem with tablespace file size limit. I use Oracle 11g
Standard Edition One on Fedora 8 Linux (x86_64).
The linux file system is ext3 with 4096 bytes blocks (which gives 2TiB
max file size). User oracle (on which the RDBMS runs) has no limits
set for a max file size (unlimited). The tablespace has also unlimited
extends set and the block size is set to 8192 bytes. Nevertheless I
encountered a problem with extending tablespace file size past 32GB.
The exact error was:

ORA-01654: unable to extend index XXX.SYS_C0011327 by 8192 in
tablespace XXX

The index is a primary key index on one of the tables. The tablespace
datafile size is now 34359730176 bytes, hence extending it by another
8192 bytes would give exactly 32GB of data.
Just to be sure I also checked if there is a possibility of creating
file sized more than 32GB on user oracle and it succeeded (I used cat /
dev/zero > aa).
The query from user_tablespaces shows that tablespace max size is
2147483645 with 8192 block size so it is way more than 32GB. It is
also standard SFT.
Oh, before you ask, there is plenty of free space on disk.

Do you have any ideas?
Please help me ASAP because now the system is running only because I
dropped one of the less important indices but it will fill up again in
short time.

Asked, and answered, in another forum.

The max size of the datafiles is 32 GB.
Add a new datafile to the tablespace and modify the actual datafile for not extend.

Again, this information has already been supplied in the thread listed
