cp : 0653-447 Requested a write of 4096 bytes, but wrote only 3584

Hello,

I'm kind of a newbie to AIX.
I have a 9113-550 Express IBM pSeries machine. I installed AIX 5.3 on it.
I expanded one of the LVs with the command : chfs -a size=+4G /tmp . I want to copy from a DVD a big file to the /tmp folder. The file is about 1.3 GB.
I mount the dvd with mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /mnt then I run the command cp /mnt/file.zip /tmp .
I can see it writing (I can look with topas and see HDD activity) but in the final I get the error from the subject.
When I do a ls -als /tmp the file has the size of 1073741312, which is 1GB (if I divide the number with 1024 for three times it is about 1GB).
The filesystem is JFS2.

Do you have any idea about this error? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

are the ulimit values set correct? ( /etc/security/limits)

rgds,

I have this :
default:
fsize = 2097151
core = 2097151
cpu = -1
data = 262144
rss = 65536
stack = 65536
nofiles = 2000

this is the important part I guess. Do I have to add or chnage any of this?

Thanks.

Thanks. That was it. The limit was for 1 GB. Now i put it for 1 TB.

Thanks a lot again.
