18.4 Determining the maximum number of extensions (pdfmkfs -e command)

To specify the maximum number of extensions for a work table file in a HiRDB file system area, use the -e option in the pdfmkfs command.

You can use the following formula to determine the maximum number of extensions for the HiRDB file system area:

Formula
Maximum number of extensions
= MIN(maximum number of files x 23, 60,000)
Note 1
When the maximum number of extensions is smaller than the estimated value, it might become impossible to secure area even when there is free space in the HiRDB file system area.
Note 2
For details about how to obtain the maximum number of files, see 18.3 Determining the maximum number of files (pdfmkfs -l command).
