LIF creation problem for bootable HD

[Truchet Mathieu]

Hi,

I've got a question about LIF creation : can I combine (with instl_combine) a LIF (created with make_medialif) with a large file (~15GB)
? Everything is OK when I use a 1950MB file. But when I use a file of 3GB, the instl_combine generates an error.
I can't go up than 2 GB. Is it possible to use a larger file ? Is instl_combine reserved for cd-roms ?
The instl_combine error is : "Value too large to be stored in data type"

Thanks,

Mathieu Truchet

Hi

i think that your fs doesnt support large files

to trun the fs to large files use :
usr/sbin/fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles

My fs supports large files because I've created a file of 15GB. I've executed the "fsadm ..." command.
I just want to use instl_combine with this large fileit, but it doesn't work up than 2GB files. Maybe the root filesystem has be support the large files, but how can I use "fsadm -o largefiles" on it while it's running ? (single mode ?).

Hi Truchet

i dont think you need to have the option of large file on the root file system .

the filesystem that you are putting the image must have this option .

sorry dont have any more idea's .
