file size limit 1

[fishman13]

Does AIX version 4.3.2 have a file size limit. We have a client with a file size of 2,147,483,647, that we can no longer write to. The soft file size was set to a -1 a while ago

Thanks

If the file is in a filesystem that is not large-file enabled, that is the limit. Use this command to see if the filesystem is large file enabled: lsfs -q /mountpoint. If you see bf:true, it is large file enabled.

If you don't see it and you need to be able to write to the file some more, you will have to recreate the filesystem. You can't change it to large file enabled once it is created.

I forgot to add, the file size limit for filesystems that aren't large-file enabled is 2 GB. There is a limit for total size (even for large-file enabled), but I'm not sure what it is.
