Hi, First, since your seems to have disks and partitions bigger than 2G, I guess your system can handle big files. So the only option you need in your config file is the large file option: -LARGEFILE sasvlfs . You should not concern with the partsize stuff. I'm quoting from the online help on : UNIX changes and Enhancements Documentation! My system is still not upgraded to SunOS 2.6, so I'm still limited to 2G or less files... I'm not talking from experience...

I would try this first, then if it doesn't work: search other alternatives for your sorting problem...
