Fluid Cache Size Limitation

[bjohnston]

Hello, I want to use the single file format for caching my fluid. I am using Linux and still having trouble getting past the 2 GB limit. Is this file format size internally limited by Maya or is it my Linux OS? I am wondering where the limit is exactly as the docs say the limit is in "my system" I imply that to mean it is not in maya. Help! Thanks!

this is a limitation usually of the filesystem.. how is your drive formatted? On windows you'd use NTFS to avoid the limitations of FAT drives etc.

Thanks Gmask, I'll explore that today.

If your trying to increase your detail by increasing your grid resolution, you can get similiar results by using the Hight Detail Solver. Also it's better to scale down your scene and camera rather than make a huge fluid container.
