vxfs and files >2GB

How can I create a vxfs-filesystem which supports files >2GB? Is it possible to convert existing vxfs-filesystems?

Hi,

to change filesystem after creation use:

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgXX/lvolX

See also 'man fsadm'

You can check if the vxfs filesystem does have the feature of largefiles implemented with the following command:
fsadm -F vxfs

If you need to change it to support largefiles you just need to run:
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles

This 2nd step just works if you have the OnlineJFS installed (swlist -l bundle).

good luck.
