compress error

Hi,

We are using software called btrade to compress and decompress file, we have 13gb compress file and we are trying to decompress it but when the decompressing reach 2gb the process died and give the error that the file is too long the file system is 150 gb, we check the btrade support they say there's no limitation of file size in software its maybe HPUX problem, I have checked the same file on solaris and its decompress with out any error, can some one have idea how to fix this issue.

Thanks

You need to enable largefiles in the filesystem mount. If the is a vxfs filesystem, then mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/lvol2 /myfilesys.

Man mount_vxfs for details. If you have OnlineJFS, you can use fsadm to make this change while mounted. Man fsadm_vxfs for details.

The other "gotcha" is ulimit. It may be set too low or quotas may be in play but I'm bettingh that largefiles have not been enabled for this filesystem.

It seems that your filesystem was not created with the largefile option.

Have a look on this FS with sam ...
