Max file system size with NFS

Hi
I run HP-UX 11.11 and need to mount a large disk via NFS. Disk size is around 10 TB. Are there any patches and so on that would let me see all this disk space with NFS and 11.11?

Shalom,

This is dependent on the filesystem being used on the exported filesystem.

I belive the top limit on vxfs is 128 TB

NFS 4 with its improved security, encrption and limitations is not available for HP-UX 11.11

Re: Max file system size with NFS

The exported (NFSv3) filesystem is 10GB.

When mounting the filesystem, over NFS, on a RedHat EL3, it shows the full size, 10GB.

But on 11.11 it shows up as a 2GB NFS volume.

Is there a limitation in the HPUX kernel or in it's NFS implementation?

Johan

Re: Max file system size with NFS

Seems to be bdf that is buggy, df -k returns 10TB volume.

Latest patch I found for bdf is PHCO_35028, which doesn't seem to solve the problem.

Anyone who knows which patch that will ?

Johan
