Filesystem

If I have allowed for the creation of large files within my filesystem, why can't I create a file larger than 2 gig?

What is output of:

fsadm /your/filesystem

Example:

fsadm /data/work
fsadm: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type
largefiles

If you allow largefiles after the filesystem has been laid nown by newfs, fsadm must be used to convert the filesystem to largefiles.

If you are accessing via an older version of NFS, the 2 GB limit still applies.

Sounds odd to me.
Make sure it "took":

fsadm -v /mounted/filesystem/path
(Should show "largefiles" in the output)

Secondly... make sure you specified it in your mount options!

grep /mountpoint /etc/fstab

/dev/vgx/lvolx /mountpoint vxfs largefiles,rw,etc, 0 2
