frecover and large file mount option

Brian Murray — Thu, 01 Apr 2004 12:25:54 GMT

Starting file recovery...
frecover (1071): /ddcxtra2/trans_cport/ddctrans_ron3b1 - needs -o largefiles mount option

Yet I see no area in SAM to set this parameter... please advise and thanks in advance.

Hi,
isn't it a mount option? largefiles used to be a filesystem option you can modify using fsadm?

You must have online JFS. To set largefiles option do.
#fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /mountpoint
To see filesystem configuration for largefiles and nolargefiles do.
#fsadm -F vxfs /mountpoint

I did a
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/rdsk/c30t5d0

which has enabled frecover to handle things and recover the file, created with fbackup from another site.

Many thanks.
