Re: configuring a disk storage volume how
I just checked the AIX books, the maximum file size up to AIX 4.3.3 is 64 Gb, you will have to use AIX 5 and jfs2 to go beyond this limit Etienne GUILLAUMONT e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] RGB Technologie Parc d'Innovation, Bâtiment PYTHAGORE 11 Rue Jean SAPIDUS 67400 ILLKIRCH Tél : 03 90 40 60 60 Fax : 03 90 40 60 61 Coviello, Paul To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]cc: OT-HS.ORG Subject: Re: configuring a disk storage volume how Sent by: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ST.EDU 03/03/2003 16:42 Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager just an fyi I have figured it out AIX has a limit of 64 gb. jfs Paul -Original Message- From: GUILLAUMONT Etienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 10:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: configuring a disk storage volume how if you didn't touch the /etc/security/limits file, you should.

Paul, try this: Under smit-user-change/show chariceristics of a user for root, what is the soft file size limit? Been bit by this before.
