File size: how to set upper limit

[Pippo_9]

Hi folks.

My O.S.: HP-UX 11.00, with option "large files" already on.

Question: is there a way to set a maximum size limit (chosen and defined by myself) for file beyond 2GB (for instance, 4GB)?

Is it possible to do that?


Thanks and regards

Hi JPM,

ulimit or quotas

I can try and narrow your search for you: I think you probably want to look at ulimit. The man page doesn't offer much but you may be able to find more information with a little effort.

check for

#ulimit

you can restrict the size of files being written.

#ulimit -f

the block size is 512bytes
