Hi all,
I want to backup a disk (u11) to another with more space (u03). I made a folder with the name "fromu11" in u03 and i tried the command copy:
cp -rp /u11 /u03/fromu11
but i took an exceptionthat the file is too large to copy.
Is there an other way to do this, except to use tape or other external devices?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,

What was the exact error message?
Do you have largefiles enabled on the target filesystem?
What HP-UX version are you running?

Hi Dennis,
The error that i took was the path of the file and at the end that "the file is too large to copy".
My server run HP-UX 11.11.
Can you tell me how i can find if largefiles are enabled in my system?
Thanks for your reply
Best regards,

It didn't mention a particular file?

Is it HFS or VXFS? You can use fsadm to change it.
You can check the existing type by doing fsadm or fstyp:

As i saw is VXFS.
Finally i found a solution. I compress all the files first with "tar" and then the "tar" file with "gzip".
