Problem: I can not create a file larger than 2GB on either VxFS or HFS filesystems. Get a "File too large" error message. Has anyone had this problem?

Even with largefiles actually enabled, the application may not be able to create or open files larger than 2GiB.

Re: Cannot create a large file on 11.11 with large files enabled
Can you do an fstyp -v /path/to/lvol just to verify large files are supported? f_flag should be set to 16 if so.

Re: Cannot create a large file on 11.11 with large files enabled
I'll have to check the utility the users is using to create these files.
Should cat and echo be able to work with large files or do I need newer versions of those?
Thanks for the information.

Re: Cannot create a large file on 11.11 with large files enabled
The issue was/is 32 bit apps that could not write past the 2GB limit.
bash, cat, echo, etc.
Thanks again for all your help.
