allow File System

[Musaddaq_1]

Hi
I am running 9i Database hp-ux(server 2470) which is not allowing me to copy file more then 2GB from another hp-ux (server5470)

Is the file system you're copying into set up for large files? What command are you using to copy - some commands still have a 2GB llimit.

mkfs -m /dev/vgxx/lvolx
Will tell which parameters were used to create the file system. Check if largefiles option was used or not.
fsadm -o largefiles /dev/vgxx/lvolx will enable it. (If you do not have online JFS, you will have to unmount the file system and then do fsadm -o largefiles on the lvol)
Update the /etc/fstab file to sustain the reboots.

This is handled when you build the filesystem.

newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/rfsname


fsadm command can convert it.

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /mountpoint_of_fs

use a real logical volume and filesysem name and you are okay.

CHeck the filesystem:

fsadm /mountpoint

If it returns:
nolargefiles

Then convert it:

fsadm -o largefile /mountpoint

Also modify /etc/fstab:

/dev/vgXX/lvolXX /mountpoint vxfs rw,suid,largefiles,delaylog,datainlog 0 2

Hi,

I agree with Pete if the failure is during the copy.
Depending on the command being used the 2GB limit can be in play.
Try using fbackup to create a file & then ftp to transfer & finally frecover to extract the file.

HTH,
Jeff
