What is the maximum file size, and the RMS record size limit?

0

RMS can store individual files of a size up to the maximum supported volume size. Under OpenVMS V6.0 and later, the volume size and the RMS maximum file size limit is 2**31 * 512 bytes—one terabyte (1 TB). “Use a volume set to provide a large, homogeneous public file space. You must use a volume set to create files that are larger than a single physical disk volume. (The file system attempts to balance the load on the volume sets, for example, by creating new files on the volume that is the least full at the time.)” “You can add volumes to an existing volume set at any time. The maximum number of volumes in a volume set is 255.” The RMS formats—sequential, relative, and indexed—are limited by the one terabyte maximum volume size. RMS relative files are further limited to a number of records that will fit in 32 bits—4 billion records. Sequential and indexed formats do not have a record limit. Also see Section 2.17.1, Section 14.25.
