mount option nolargefiles

[John Downs_1]

Greetings!

I was advised to remove the nolargefiles option from my hfs filesystem on my fileserver. I did this and rebooted. Does my filesystem now support large files? Or do I need to run fsadm on the unmounted filesystem first?

No enough data to answer but you can do
an fsadm -F hfs /dev/vgxx/lvolnn to display the settings.

You can then use the fsadm -F hfs -o largefiles (or nolargefiles) option to enable it as the default.

Man fsadm_hfs for details.

Hi john,

If you want to have your filesystem support largefiles, do a fsadm for the filesystem / lv and check if largefiles is set to on. If not you have to use the fsadm command to set the largefiels option on for your filesystem and then use the largeiles option in the mount command.

Hope this helps.

you need to run fsadm on the file system to convert from nolargefiles to largefiles.

See the man page on fsadm.

example:

fsadm -F hfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/lvol1

John,

I guess you modified /etc/fstab file and added the largefile option(-o largefiles). If you have done that and rebooted the system then it should support for largefiles now. Run fsadm -F hfs /dev/vgxx/ to find out the file system has large files support.

To know wiht what options the filesystem is created

mkfs -m /mount point name

to change it

fsadm -olongfilename /mountpoint
