i cann't covert the File system to Large files support..

[shan_7]

Hi,

In 10.20 hp-ux server, i try to convert the file system to large file support . but it giving the following error while proceeding with the command
#fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg07/lvol2
vxfs fsadm: file system is not root inode of vxfs file system..
#
and i checked with fstyp -v file_system
f_flag value is 0 so current file system won't support the large file system...

help me ...

back up the data

newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg07/rlvol2

That should do it, though 10.20 is far from my fortee.

Is the filesystem still mounted?

Hi Shankar

back up the data in vg07/lvol2

#umount < file system>
#lvremove /dev/vg07/lvol2
#lvcreate -L -n lvol2 /dev/vg07
#newfs -F vxfs -o largefile /dev/vg07/rlvol2
#mount /dev/vg07/lvol2
#fstyp -v /dev/vg07/lvol2

restore data from backup

Hi Shankar,

have you tried fsadm by mountpoint?

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /

Good luck!

as far as my understanding goes the fs needs to be recreated !

Will dig in why !

Hi Shankar,

Tried this???

SAM ==> disks and filesystems ==> filesystems ==> action ==> modify - allow large files

With best wishes

Hi!
You need simply to unmount your filesystem
before doing fsadm and also you need to
use raw devices: "rlvol2"

#umount /dev/vg07/lvol2
#fsadm -F vxfs -o
largefiles /dev/vg07/rlvol2

Good luck,
Stan
