Summary works quite well with log files mounted over NFS. But you can't
have Summary's Data folder mounted over NFS. The Data folder *must* be
on a local hard disk.

The total size of your logs won't be a problem for Summary, but it can't
handle a single log file being over 4 Gig (2 Gig on Windows and Mac).
You will need to split that 8G log file up into two or more pieces in
order to process it with Summary.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
