trying to change largefile specification

[Donald Thaler]

When entering the following;
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/lvol5
i get the following error:
"vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg02/lvol5 is not the root inode of a vxfs file sytem". What does this mean and how do I correct it?

Donald,

Perhaps it's not a VxFS file system? Try it without the "-F vxfs" option. If that doesn't do it, try specifying the mount point rather than the lvol.

Apparently there is a mistake in the man page!

# fsadm -o largefiles /dev/vg00/lvol6
vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg00/lvol6 is not the root inode of a vxfs file sytem
#
# fsadm -o largefiles /tmp
fsadm: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type

Hi Donald,

Seems you do not have OnlineJFS installed.

try this.

# umount file_system
# fsadm -o largefiles /dev/vg02/rlvol5

note the raw device file.
# mount -a
# fsadm /dev/vg01/rlvol5
nomultifsets
largefiles

Specify the filesystem name rather than the logical volume name.

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /filesystem

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Donald:

You need to use the raw device:

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/rlvol5

Regards!

Hi you need to specify the file system instead of the lvname.

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /file_system_name.

thx,

If you haven't OnlineJFS you need to unmount the fs first.

Then try the filesystem, not the lvol:

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /mount_point

and change the entry "largefiles" inside /etc/fstab file!

[Steven E. Protter]

For 11i and up the largefiles entry must not be added to the /etc/fstab file.

if you do the mount will fail.

I thought I posted to this thread today.

Oh well,now I have.

Hi Donald,

Need to check the following. The formalt used seems Ok.

1. Is Online JFS installed.

2. Is the filesystem is vxfs?

# fstyp

3. Is the file systems usage not 100%


Cheers
