Sergej,
Have you seen:

As your HP box hosts the files, it must be able to support >2GB files, what about your Windows Server?

[Fabian Briseño]

Hello.
I think you need a patch for support of files over 2GB.

Do you have large file support enabled for your filesystems ?

Hi!

I 've seen it before but there is nothing that could help me :(

# fstyp -v /dev/vg00/lvol4

#more /etc/fstab

...

ANy idea?

Hi,
that looks as if largefiles is not enabled.
Are the >2GB files correctly on the HP box?

You can change fs with:
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg00/lvol4

Did you use the -o largefile on nfs mount as well ?

[Sergej_5]

I can't rememeber if i used it ...
But i was succesfully:

umount /dev/vg00/lvol4
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg00/rlvol4
mount /dev/vg00/lvol4 /ignite_depot/

Is there something else i have to do?

[Fabian Briseño]

Hi again.
SERGEJ that should take care of the problem, the large files option was not enabled as a result any file larger than 2 GB was not supported

[Sergej_5]

after that:

# mkfs -m /dev/vg00/lvol4
mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=8192,version=3,inosize=256,logsize=256,largefiles /dev/vg00/l
vol4 66854912

It says "largefiles" ... but problem still exist!

[Sergej_5]

Just second after i apply:

# cp ovo8.23_ora10_2.gz /net/tantra/test_sero/

It says:

cp: ovo8.23_ora10_2.gz: File too large
