Can someone tell me the significance of the 'largefiles' and 'nolargefiles' entries?

Re: nolargefiles in fstab
You just do it with newfs or extendfs and its recognized at mount time.

Re: nolargefiles in fstab
Consider the filesystems though. I never enable largefiles on any of the basic OS filesystems and never any filesystems that are less than 2GB in size. In fact I usually only enable largefiles if it is specifically requested. That way I don't have someone, myself included, accidentally fill up a file system with 1 VERY LARGE file.
Also keep in mind that if you do want to enable largefiles, you must turn it on for the filesystem via the fsadm command and then modify the /etc/fstab. Otherwise, you will get an error when you try to mount it.
# fsadm -o largefiles /mount_point
Or if you are createing a new filesystem, enable largefiles when you newfs the filesystem.
# newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg??/rlvol??
