| Controls
segment size in multi-segmented files. 'MB'
must be set to a value to activate the multi-segmented
file feature. ProvideX calculates the approximate size of
each segment in megabytes, based on the block size of a
file: Segment size
in bytes = 512 + ((bksz - 6) * bksz)
The value bksz
above represents the block size of the file -- normally
between 1 and 8 kilobytes. You can use the BSZ=option
when you create the file, to override the default block
size for a file.
The following table lists
the maximum number of segments allowed for a file based
on valid block sizes (1 to 31 kilobytes):
