    64gb limitation is max. filesize on jfs, not max. filesystem-size

    Well I was until I saw that table :)

    Would you like your egg (on my face) scrambled or sunny side up ?

    Excuse me Bill, are you sure?

    I got the following "helper table" from an AIX 4.3.3 system:

    0506-276 JFS file systems have the following size limitations:

      NBPI Minimum AG Size Fragment Size Maximum Size (GB)
       512 8 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 8
      1024 8 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 16
      2048 8 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 32
      4096 8 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 64
      8192 8 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 128
     16384 8 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 256
     32768 16 1024, 2048, 4096 512
     65536 32 2048, 4096 1024
    131072 64 4096 1024

    And I've defined several filesystems over 130GB with nbpi=32768.
    Is that a jfs limitation with AIX 5L?

    Best regards

    Ignacio
