Issue changing fs to allow largefiles

[KURT HARLESS]

Greetings,

Attempted to change a filesystem to allow large files and received the following message;
# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /u06

vxfs fsadm: /u06 is not the root inode of a vxfs file sytem

Does root need this applied to it too?

trying doing on raw device.

Hi Kurt,

Try it w/o the -F vxfs. The system will check the entry in /etc/fstab to determine FS type.
But...if not if /u06 is not in there it defaults to /etc/default/fs - then you will need to know what FS type it is.
Also note you can use -V to "preview" the command.

Rgds,
Jeff

is /u06 listed in /etc/fstab file?

[S.K. Chan]

Assuming /u06 is in /dev/vg02/lvol1 then you would run it like so ..

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/rlvol1

with /u06 unmounted of course. Running it with ..

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /u06

would only work if you have OnlineJFS. I'm assuming /u06 is vxfs.

Hi,

it will work only if you have Online JFS. Is /u06 a part of the lvol ??

Try to run this command on the raw logical volume.

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg03/rlvol3

You can always use SAM Disks and file systems/file systems choose the file system, click on actions/modify, click on Allow large files.

Some questions...

is /u06 an existing filesystem? If so you will need OnLineJFS. If all else fails go back to basics Ignore all the money you spent on it and

# fbackup -f /dev/rmt/1m -0 -i /u06
# umount /u06
# newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/ru06
(remember the r)
# mount /dev/vg01/u06 /u06
# frecover -x -f /dev/rmt/1m

Hi KURT


do a fsadm -o largefile /u06 if you ahve a online JFS installed , incase it is not there then you have to umount it to run the command.

I've had the same problem - but in reverse. Take a look at the following link where instructions (both via sam and command line) are detailed.

Good

luck.http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x1ca83a7b3682d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html
