Why not use 'logrotate' to move the trace log and keep it from growing too big? I understand this doesn't address the problem directly but to me the thought of looking (or even parsing) a 2gb log files makes my head hurt. Better to chop that sucker up on a regular basis so you can actually have an easier time data mining. As for the error, sorry, don't have a reason why it'd kick that back to you. You didn't say if the application it's self had a file parse limit, or even what the program is. IMHO it's probably the program generating the file that is choking on it, possibily it has a limit to how much it can parse to find the EOF and append to it.

I am generating a trace file in my application, and when the file size reaches 2GB, I am getting the following error message: File size limit exceeded. I checked the file size limit by "ulimit -a", and it seems it is set to unlimited. Why am I getting this error and how can I fix it? It is an urgent problem, any help is greatly appreciated.
