Lvcreate - enable large files

[Tim O'Connell]

I need to create a filesystem to uncompress an Oracle dump file of approx 3gb. When the uncompress gets to approx 2.1gb if fails. How can I enable large files. My current lvcreate command is:
lvcreate -s g -D y -m 1 -L 5000 /dev/vg01

Thanks,

Tim

Hi there,

Use: newfs -o largefiles

See the man page for fsadm:

fsadm -o largefiles /dev/vg02/lvol1

Hi,

you can use the "newfs -o largefiles" option when creating FS or
the "fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles " option when already created

Used FSADM. Worked perfectly.

Many thanks for the prompt response,

Hi,
... and when you have enabled largefiles for the file system, please remember to check the mount options for the file system in /etc/fstab: the mount option must then be largefiles - I cannot remember if that happens automatically, but it is at least easy to check and correct.
