    Question was
    ============
    Using HP-UX B.11.00 on a 9000/800 server
    fbackup aborts when reaching 2GB
    writing on a dump file placed in a 18GB free LV.
    On the fbackup man page I can read: With release
    10.20, HP-UX supports large files (greater than 2GB).

    Solution
    ========
    I had to create the FileSystem with the "largefiles"
    option, as for example:

    $ lvcreate -L 34720 -n lvol1 /dev/vg09
    $ newfs -o delaylog,largefiles /dev/vg09/rlvol1
    $ mount -o delaylog,largefiles /dev/vg09/lvol1 /backup/vg09

    If already created, you can add this and other options with

    $ umount ...
    $ fsadm -F vxfs -o delaylog,largefiles /dev/vg09/rlvol1
    $ mount ...

    You can verify the current options with

    $ fsadm -F vxfs /backup/vg09

    Now I have big files :-))
    Best regards,
    Stefano
