Image Failure gzip: File too large

[Bradley Gay]

When I try to create the golden image with make_sys_image I receive the error:

gzip: stdout: File too large

How would I change the filesystem to accept large files?

Hi,

normally with the command fsadm -F xvfs -o largefiles /mountpoint.

HTH,

Hi


see man fsadm

fsadm

This is the command to change an in place filesystem

-F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg00/lvol

You might have to get a newer version of gzip too, but I doubt that.

Hi Brad,

you can change your FS for largefile option with (OnlineJFS)

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles

Hi


If this is an NFS thing then you need the following.

For the client to accept the largefiles from the server, the server must do a reexport of the fs directory, and then the
client must retake the file system.

Like this on a JFS server

1. fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /igdir

fsadm -F vxfs /igdir
( to verify the change)

2. exportfs -i /igdir


3.The client system

unmount /nfs3_igdir

mount servername:/igdir /nfs3_igdir

Can this be done on the root drive?

[G. Vrijhoeven]

Hi again Brad,

This can be done on alle filesystems ( vxfs) that are >2 GB.
