Maximum filesize

[Brad Marks]

I'm running HP-UX 11.i. A data file is currently at 8gb. and all it does is grow.
It is located on a vxfs largefiles file system that has plenty of free space.

How large a file can HP-UX deal with?

Thanks in advance.

How big is your LV?

Max file size, and max. filesystem size, depends on the level of VxFS of your LV.

Do a 'fstyp -v /dev/vg??/lvol?' and look at the "version:" line and then compare against the chart in this doc:

For all practical purposes, it's limited by the size of the filesystem (if you can build the filesystem, the file can grow to fill it) or by ulimit or by quotas --- whichever comes first.

Thanks all for the quick and accurate answers.
I think I can stop worrying;)
