Hi,
just my two cents worth: I like having the files sized in a way I can
handle them easily with any UNIX tool on nearly any system. No matter
wether I want to cp, tar, dump, dd, cat or gzip the file: Just keep it at
a maximum size below any limits, handy for handling.
For example, Oracle suggests it somewhere in their documentation, to keep
datafiles at a reasonable size, e.g. 1 GB. Seems right to me, never had
any problems with it.
Kind regards
... Ralph ...
