Mount using largefiles only works when the file system has been created using largefiles.

fsadm should work; what version of VXFS and OS are you running? What Gold Pack Version?

Easiest was to do this; recreate the file system from scratch, using

newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgXX/rlvolY

Hi,
If you don't have Online-JFS you cannot do it when the FS is mounted. So you need to unmount the FS and issue #fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev//.
Then remount it . Modify the fstab by reflecting largefile option.
If your FS is on vg00 (root VG) , you need to start the m/c in LVM maintenance mode and do the same.

Hi,
The typical way to enable large-file support for a file system are as follows:
#umount /somedir
#fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/lvol2
#mount /dev/vg01/lvol2 /somedir

Then modify the entry in /etc/fstab and add a "-o largefiles" option.

Good luck!

You do not have the Online Jfs product,so changing to largefiles on the fly is not possible.

Umount the file system.
Enable largefiles
Re-mount the file system.

Also make sure you update the /etc/fstab

Thanks
