Extending VxFS FileSystem

PROSANJIT MALLICK — Sat, 23 Jun 2001 13:52:43 GMT

Hi,
I wanted to know whether there is way to create a file partition of more than 4GB in 10.01 OS version.
I tried to create and it says maximum allowed is <=4GB. Is there anyway to overcome this ?

Bye

There is no way to overcome that limit that I know of. That is a hard limit imposed by the OS.

See this document for more information on the maximum file sizes supported by various versions of HP-UX.

hi ,

Not possible unless you upgrade OS.

but what size you are looking for . In such cases what i do is to create two logical volumes and mount in the same tree ie.

lvol1 mounted on /ugs160 ........... 3 GB
lvol2 mounted on /ugs160/addons .......3 GB

They are diff. file systems but for a user it is the same.....
Hope this helps you

Good luck
