make_net_recovery fails on gzip
I'm trying to perform a make_net_recovery of a server including just vg00 across the network to our ignite server. However after successfully creating the image the process fails and the image is deleted.
Error relates to a failure gzip'ing the image because it is too large however largefiles etc is set on the target filesystem so I am guessing that like tar, gzip has a max size limit?
Does anyone know how to resolve this? Errors are below and source OS is 11.11 and ignite server OS where files are being created is 11.23

Re: make_net_recovery fails on gzip
Few possible sources since you don't reveal the version number of Ignite.
1) The destination filesystem is not set up for largefiles. It can be modified with fsadm on the host system.
2) gzip itself is out of date and is trying to make a file greater than 2 GB. I'm not aware of a gzip version that can exceed 8 GB, and if you are trying to make an archive that big, you need to decrease the scope of the recovery and end up with a smaller image.
3) Insufficient space in the /var filesystem for the temporary files that gzip needs to make.
Check that list and make appropriate actions and check back here.
Good Luck,

gzip: stdout: File too large
You are about 3.5 times too large.
gzip doesn't support large files directly.
If you use a pipe you can get it to work:
$ cat BIG | gzip | cat > BIG.gz
(The last pipe isn't needed if the result is less than 2 Gb.)
You could of course use compress(1).

Re: make_net_recovery fails on gzip
> can exceed 8 GB [...]
I'm not aware of a gzip version where 8GB is
any kind of special size. Old gzip versions
may have trouble with files larger than 2GB,
but if a gzip can do anything bigger than
2GB, then it won't care about things bigger
than 8GB. ("tar" is a different question.
The "tar" archive format must change (again)
to deal with file sizes bigger than 8GB, but
gzip doesn't care, because it doesn't store
the file size in the odd-ball way(s) that
"tar" does.)
Modern, large-file-capable gzip programs
abound. Version 1.3.12 seems to be current.
Getting make_sys_image to _use_ a different
(newer/better) gzip may be harder, depending
on how the script locates the gzip
executable.

Re: make_net_recovery fails on gzip
1. The remote filesystem does not support large files (nolargefiles is set)
2. The remote filesystem may support large files but it may have been mounted with no large files.
3. The remote server only supports NFS v2. NFS v2 does not support large files.
4. The NFS mount has for some reason used NFS v2 when the remote system does support NFS v3.
You have some filesystem investigation and perhaps NFS troubleshooting ahead of you.

Re: make_net_recovery fails on gzip
Analyze you vg00 logical volumes and exclude any lvols that do not belong to the OS.
