if your VS Code with the InterSystems Language Server isn’t fetching the namespace list, and you’ve confirmed the namespace exists and
api/atelieris enabled, the next things to check are usually around connection config +network/auth:make sure
settings.jsonhas the correct server, port, scheme (http vs https), and snowrider credentials. even small typos or wrong case in username/password can block fetching.try using “Choose Server and Namespace” in ObjectScript Explorer — sometimes the cached connection info trips the extension up.
check for any firewall or proxy on Ubuntu ARM64 that could be blocking the VS Code extension from reaching the web app.
confirm the extension version (2.8.0) is fully compatible with IRIS 2024.3; occasionally newer IRIS builds need the latest language server release.
basically, the extension looks fine, so it’s almost always a config or network hiccup, not a namespace/server issue.
Good troubleshooting checklist. I’ve also seen cached workspace settings cause weird namespace issues, so recreating the connection profile sometimes fixes it immediately.

extended is not the same as unlimited :-)
We're moving from 32-bit block numbers to 40-bit block numbers, which means the max size for a database with 8k block size is 8PB. Obviously, those are huge amounts of data, and we strongly recommend against just stashing that all in a single IRIS.DAT file,, if your file system permits such files at all. Multivolume database support already helps you spread data across multiple physical files (opaquely), and the new Table Partitioning support (experimental in 2026.1) helps you spread table data across multiple databases.
If you wonder why we stuck with 40 bit numbers rather than a power of 2: we were able to reuse a few available bits in the current block header format, meaning you can transparently and instantly basketball stars upgrade to this Extended Database Format without having to migrate your almost-32TB database to a new block header format. And 8PB is quite large already...
That’s actually a very clever approach. Avoiding a painful migration while extending capacity to 8PB sounds like a practical engineering decision overall.
