[daip] problem with big disks (fwd)

[Josh Winn]

Hi,

  I'm still having a problem using AIPS on a large disk drive (see below).  
Have you ever seen this bug, and can you help me to fix it?

When running FRING in AIPS version 31DEC01,
I am getting the following error message:

florea> FRING1: ZCREA2: BYTES OVERFLOW ? = -1691384832
florea> FRING1: INSUFFICIENT SPACE ON DISK  3 FOR FILE DA03:SCD007001.1PM;
florea> FRING1: REQUESTED SIZE OF     2542561 BLOCKS FROM ZCREAT
florea> FRING1: SCREAT: NO ROOM ON  3 FOR SCRATCH SIZE   2542561 KILOBYTES
florea> FRING1: SCREAT: FAILED TO CREATE REQUESTED SCRATCH FILE
florea> FRING1: CALCOP: ERROR     5 CREATING SCRATCH FILE

However, here is plenty of room (150 Gb) on Disk 3 as you can see below:

>freespac
AIPS 1: Disk Volume name               Total Full     Free  Timd Access
AIPS 1:   #                           blocks    %   blocks  days
AIPS 1:   1  </aips/DATA/FLOREANA_1 12851947   68  4119829 365.0 Alluser

AIPS 1:   3  <ogs/aips/DATA/SENSE_2176893424   13152515408 365.0 Alluser

AIPS seems to be having trouble coping with this very large disk.
Can you tell me how to work around this problem?

Thanks,

Josh
