NFS file share GB limitation

[Joe Profaizer]

What's the maximum GB on an NFS volume one can share to remote systems? I'm fairly positive I have the latest NFS version on HP-UX 11.0 (March '01 updated CD is installed too).

Thanks,

Hi joe:

If you are running version 3 of NFS and have 'largefiles' set for the filesystem, then largefile capability is supported.

I'm curious is there is like a 128GB file system limit. Currently, the file system I'm trying to export to a remote system is 328GB.

With ver 11.0, NFS version is 3, which can accomodate a max file size of 128GB. Now, I may be a relative rookie, but it would make sense to me that if your filesystem didn't have any individual files over 128GB, you should be good to go. Maybe someone else would have more experience to answer that one for you.

My 3 cents.

Thanks. 236GB is allocated/used on the filesystem. The remote system allows the mount, but I can't do an "ls" on it.

I think you've answered my questions.
