Hello,
I am using root version 5.34/05 and python version 2.6.5.
I am using a python script to hadd root files together 10 at a time.
I use os.system("hadd -f file11 file1 file2 … file9 file10) to do the actual call to root.
each of the 10 files are of size ~670M, so I expect the final output file to be of size ~6.7G
I get the following error:
Error in <TFile::WriteBuffer>: error writing all requested bytes to file /nfs/dust/atlas/user/gherbert/TCAnalysis_nominal/histograms/mc12_8TeV.117050.PowhegPythia_P2011C_ttbar.merge.NTUP_COMMON.e1728_s1581_s1586_r3658_r3549_p1575.root, wrote 21294 of 29655

Error in <TFileMerger::Merge>: error during merge of your ROOT files
Am I actually hitting the maximum file size? I thought root files could be much larger.
Many Thanks,
Geoff
