As I said in my message (although I've still not had time to look further
into this) this will not solve your problem completely. My 2.4.17 testbox
will happily create >4gig flies - but as soon as my mysql myisam table
reached 4gig I got a "Table full" error when trying to insert.
Going InnoDB is probably the best solution, from what I've seen
so far - will mysql switch to make that the default table type at some
point in the future?
