Hi

I trying to write a huge Tree to a file. After the filesize reachese
approx. 2GB the algorith crashes and leaves the file impropper closed.

-rw-r--r--   1 muptdev  users    1999999972 Jul 28 20:12
/data_sdc/mt615xNeg_A.cal.root
-rw-r--r--   1 muptdev  users    1999999995 Jul 29 11:23
/data_sdc/mt615xPos_A.cal.root

Is there a limit in file-size ?

Every time I open the file root recovers 379 keys wich takes some time.
Ist there a way to permanetly recover the file in such a way that it is
closed properly afterwards?

Opening the File in "Updated" mode did also not work. I receive the
following error:

root [0] f1 = new TFile("/data_sdc/mt615xPos_A.cal.root","Update");
Warning in <TFile::TFile>: file /data_sdc/mt615xPos_A.cal.root probably
not clos
ed, trying to recover
Address = 2000000001    Nbytes = 0      =====E R R O R=======
Error in <TKey::Create>: Cannot allocate 20474 bytes for ID =
/data_sdc/mt615xPos_A.cal.root Title =

Thanks,


Norbert
