Huge Files

A c-tree data or index file that is created with 8-byte offset support is known as a HUGE file. A non-HUGE file is limited to 2 or 4 GB in size, depending on system file limits. An 8-byte file offset provides a maximum file size of more than 1.844 x 1019 bytes per file, so a HUGE file effectively eliminates practical constraints on the file size.
