2 GB File Limit

Enabling Large Files Systems on your OS

To verify that large files are enabled:

ulimit -Sa

To get shell limits:

ulimit -Ha

To check hard limits

Set ulimit unlimited to avoid operating system limitations.

To enable large file systems, run an something like the following:

mkfs -F hfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/1vo11

For AIX systems, use smit to set large file enabled. You can also look at changing the limit in /etc/security/limits (fsize).

For HP-UX systems, to convert a file system back and forth between no large files and large files run:

1. unmount the file systems you wish to convert
2. Run fsadm to perform the conversion.
3. Run fsck on converted system.
