Re: largefiles
newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg00/rlvol12
for example
It can be enabled after the fact with fsadm command
On 11.00 and earlier largefiles is an option that must be included in /etc/fstab
It can not be included in mount options of 11.11 and up.

Re: largefiles
With fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /mountpoint you can turn it on online.

Solutionconvosync, mincache, etc...
You will also need to add and entry to your /etc/fstab at the end of the line just before the numbers for your mountpoint.
/dev/vg00/lvol /mount/point vxfs largefiles 0 2

Re: largefiles
I'm a real newbie at HP/UX, but I've worked on Solaris for years, so please excuse my ignorance of some HP specifics. I know I've done this on a Solaris machine before, so I'd expect it to work the same. Please verify that what I say below is correct on your system by checking manpages or usage statements just to be sure it isn't different.
There is a command in /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin named fsadm. You can change the filesystem options using that. The syntax would be:
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /path/to/mountpoint
Make sure after you run it that the correct flags appear in your /etc/vfstab (or the HP/UX equivalent) so that it keeps the largefiles setting after booting. I can't remember if it made the change permanent that way or not.
And as always, I'd recommend trying it on a test box before messing with filesystem settings on a live production box, especially when your info came from some Solaris guy :-)

Re: largefiles
Obviously, you should do what they said and ignore mine. Sounds like exactly the same procedure, but they have the information specific to HP that I didn't know.

Re: largefiles
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dirname
added largefiles to the fstab entry
umount /dirname
mount /dirname
smoothly.
Before copying a file larger than 2GB, is there a way to show that filesystem is OK, with the largefile attribute, or I don't need to?
