Anyone Created A Large Fluid Cache?

[bjohnston]

Has anyone produced a single file fluid cache larger than 3 GB? I am Running Linux. No System file limitations and 8 GB of Ram on 64bit maya. Theoretically I should be able to create a fluid cache file in the single format of 20GB or more. It runs thru the entire sim, I save the file and no more than 2.2GB writes out. Even that doesn't work. WHY!!! Anyone have any insight to this? Thanks all.

The current file format is iff based and still has the 2 gig limit, regardless of running on 64 bits. You will need to use the cache per frame setting instead of one big cache.
