how to enable large file support with out using fsadm...

[Suraj K Sankari]

Hi,

I didn't try this without fsadm but you can try this below commands or try to create FS with SAM

While mounting the file system
mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg#/lvol# /(mountpoint)

In /etc/fstab entry
/dev/vg0#/lvol# /ignite_depot vxfs delaylog,largefiles 0 2

Hi,

You can create the FS directly without fsadm. After creating the lvol:


# lvcreate -L /dev/vgXX
# newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgXX/rlvolX

Other than using newfs(1m) I don't think there is any way. Why would you want to not use fsadm(1m)?

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi:

As Dennis noted, you have a choice of enablng 'largefiles' when you 'newfs' or 'mkfs' the filesystem or if you later use 'fsadm'.

The use of 'largefiles' or 'nolargefiles' in '/etc/fstab' or when explicitly mounting a filesystem with 'mount' *only* checks the stated intention with the underlying filesystem.

That is, a 'largefiles' filesystem will fail to mount if '-o nolargefiles' is specified. Similarly, a mount of a 'nolargefiles' filesystem will fail if the mount option '-o largefiles' is given. When no mount option is specified, the state of the underlying filesystem will determine the usage.

Regards!

first umount the filesystem and then run newfs -F vxfsd -o largefiles

"first umount the filesystem and then run newfs -F vxfsd -o largefiles "

Be careful, because the newfs command will destroy ALL the data in the logical volume!
If you do that, be sure you do not have data in the lvol or you have a backup of its contents.

"...with out using fsadm... " - please explain the reason why.
