The target file system does not support large files.

Either the target system's fileutil commands like cp require a largefiles patch,
or you could revert to commands such as fbackup and frestore (the manpage of the latter shows an example how to pipe the output of fbackup to frestore, which can be used the same way within an ssh or remsh connection.
Wheras if you wish to transfer whole filesystems you can use vxdump and vxrestore in the same fashion, provided source and target filesystems are both VxFS.

Abraham.
check in your /etc/fstab file if the filesystem to where you are trying to copy the file supports large files.

which by the message its displayin it does not, you would have to make the filesystems able to support large files.

you can do this via command line or by SAM

I accedently forgot to make one of my Logical Volumes with Large files enabled recently. Here are the commands to change it, depending on if you have online jfs or not
