Convert fs nolargefiles to largefiles

[castro_2]

I need to convert a FS vxfs to larfiles, I have Online JFS.
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/ora03
vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg01/ora03 is not the root inode of a vxfs file sytem.
Thanks

Hi,

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/rora03

note r in rora03

Regards,
Robert-Jan

You need to specify the mountpoint when using fsadm on vxfs filesystems instead of the device/lvol...

[Mark Grant]

Are you sure that is the name of your logical volume?

Though, having never used this command, it might be that you need to use the raw device and as you use the actual mount point when using fsadm to increase the filesytem, maybe you should try that.

Your syntax, however, is correct

[Geoff Wild]

Actually - do it on the filesystem mount:

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /yourmount

Hi,

you should use raw device file, no block device file, then try:

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/rora03

Best regards,

Specify the mount point instead of the logical volume:

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /mount_point

[Jeff Schussele]

Geoff's correct - has to be on the mount point

fsadm -o largefiles /mnt_point

Rgds,
Jeff

hi,

Do

fsadm -o largefiles /mount_point

Hope this helps.

Do not forget to edit /etc/fstab when you are done.

#umount /ora03
#fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/rora03 (note : rora03 and not ora03)
edit /etc/fstab
#mount /ora03
#fstyp /dev/vg01/rora03

#ulimit [make sure all are ok ]
[prealloc 21000 can be used to test file size - see man pages]

Good Luck
