What is the max. size for a file system.

[Fedon Kadifeli]

Does anybody know what is the maximum size a file system can be? For example, can I create a 1 TB VxFS file system? Does it depend on HP-UX version (10.20, 32-bit 11, or 64-bit 11)?

You are right, it depents on the OS version.

10.0/10.01

Maximum File Size : 2 gigabytes
Maximum Filesystem Size : 4 gigabytes

10.10
Maximum File Size : 2 gigabytes
Maximum Filesystem Size : 128 gigabytes

10.20
Maximum File Size : 128 gigabytes
Maximum Filesystem Size : 128 gigabytes

11.0 (Current Supported sizes for both 32 and 64 bit OS)
Maximum File Size : 128 gigabytes
Maximum Filesystem Size : 128 gigabytes

If you use the new JFS version 3.3, this will allow a Maximum File System size and maximum File Size of 128GB for 32 bit HP-UX 11, and 1TB for 64bit HP-UX 11
