'Autoextend' datafile - Mysql-Max-4.1.14 - Linux

[Tom Brown]

Hi

I need to have a single db that will have in excess of 100gb of data in 
it - For this i will need to create more that 1 datafile as the max file 
size of linux would be exceeded in this scenerio.

On Oracle you can say that a datafile is x mb in size and it can 
autoextend to be x mb - Is this possible in MySQL 4.1.x ? I see that you 
can say that each datafile is x mb but that this filesize is created 
when the server is started eg if i want 100GB of space available then i 
can create 4x25GB files but they have to start at 25GB rather than all 
starting at say 1GB and then 'extending' to 25GB. So is it possible for 
all datafiles, rather than just the last one, be 'autoextending'

Hope this makes sense
