largefiles

[Donald Thaler]

Trying to create logical volume with largefile support using the following command:
"fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/lvol5" and received the following error :
"vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg02/lvol5 is not the root inode of a vxfs file sytem". What does this mean and how do i get around it??

Can you replace the /dev/vg02/lvol5 with the mountpoint in the command?

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /

[Steven E. Protter]

try:

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/rlvol5

I think you need the r...

You could:

back up the data and run newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/lvol5.

A lofical volume does not have largefile support, a filesystem does. I assume you have already built the filesystem. You actually need to use the mountpoint (e.g. /home) for this comand.

See your other thread:

You need to use either the mount point or the raw device.

Hi, Donal:

# fsdadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgxx/rlvyyyy

# mount -o largefiles /dev/vgxx/lvyyyy /mount_point

Hi,

The synax what you are using is wrong, may change to

#fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /

fsadm will accept mountpoint name and not lv name.

As pointed out fsadm works on the mount point as it is modlfying the filesystem and noe the lvol.
Also remember the largefiles in the mount command or fstab.
