What is the max. size for a file system.

Fedon Kadifeli — Thu, 25 May 2000 07:46:37 GMT

Does anybody know what is the maximum size a file system can be? For example, can I create a 1 TB VxFS file system? Does it depend on HP-UX version (10.20, 32-bit 11, or 64-bit 11)?

If you use the new JFS version 3.3, this will allow a Maximum File System size and maximum File Size of 128GB for 32 bit HP-UX 11, and 1TB for 64bit HP-UX 11
