Filesystem Copy errors

[KPS]

I just recently created some filesystems across 4 striped disks with the largefile flag.
IE:) lvcreate -L 20000 -i4 -I8 /dev/vg01
newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/rlvol1
We're trying to do recursive copies of directories of contents of about 1.5Gig and we're getting the following message when we attempt this from sourcing the profile as Oracle:

cp: bad copy to junk3: write: File too large

If we do it as root it works fine...
Wondering if there's some sort of profle environment variable that needs to allow user Oracle to copy files of certain sizes??

ulimit?

Ulimit could do this. If you are running as user oracle, I suspect that you are running ksh; I would switch to POSIX sh. The other thing that could cause this is quotas; are quotas in play on this filesystem?

All set with this.....ulimit and an issue with the oracle profile was the issue.


Tks for your help....
