如何使用vi处理大文件（GB级别）？

To open files less than 2GB use following procedure
Step1 : Just execute vi command with out any file
#vi 

Step2 : 
In the command mode, 
type :set directory=”any directory with enough free space”

Step3 : 
Now open the file using 
:e “file name”
And start editing it. Once you are done you can save and exit(:wq).
Through this way we can avaoid vi crashing.

eg:
  cd directory
  vi
  :set directory=/tmp
  :e filename
