I set up a large enabled File System and am having trouble creating files larger than 2 GIG.&nbsp;&nbsp;I used the following parameters - <br><br>Frag size - 4096<br>NBPI - 131072<br>Allocation Group Size - 64<br><br>We are running AIX 4.3.2 - any idea what I did wrong or what I should check?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks!!!
 
Check in /etc/security/limits. You've probably got fsize in the default stanza set to 2GB. Change it to -1 and then you've got unlimited file sizes.<br><br>Hope this fixes your problem <p>Dave Hamilton<br><a href=mailto:dhamilton@gio.com.au>dhamilton@gio.com.au</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Thanks Dave,<br><br>I do have the fsize paramenter set at -1.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm kinda new at this and didn't know about this file so your tip was helpful!<br><br>Thanks - Chris
 
What program are you using to create file, some can only see 2 GIG....
