Files > 1GB

[Tomek_1]

Hello
I have a HP-UX 10.20.
Is there any problem to have a files size over 1GB? I'm not sure because i can see the file which was growing up every day but not today.

Best Regards
Tom

There is no 1GB limit. Filesystems can have a 2GB limit - use the /usr./sbin/fsadm command to test if a filesystem has a 2GB limit;

fsadm -F vxfs

If it returns nolargefiles then there is a 2GB limit.

The only other restriction could be via ulimit via your shell. Check with ulimit -a

-c The number of 512-byte blocks in the size of core dumps.
-d The number of kilobytes in the size of the data area.
-f The number of 512-byte blocks in files written by child
processes (files of any size can be read).
-n The number of file descriptors.
-s The number of kilobytes in the size of the stack area.
-t The number of seconds to be used by each process.

You can try using ulimit to increase them.

Thanks for help.
How can i set ulimit permanently (not only for 1 session)

You can put "ulimit" with the maximum file size in a users .profile for that one user or in /etc/profile for all users.
