Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help?
We are running vertias volume manager 3.5 on a solaris 8 sun V880 box.
I am trying to tar up large amounts of data under volume
manager partitions (not veritas file system). When the tar
(this is using GNU tar) gets to about 2 GB it bombs out with
the following error:
/usr/local/bin/tar: Cannot write to
/data/archive/28_05_03/ver_data_images.tar:
File too large
/usr/local/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Similar errors are produced with just the normal solaris tar.
I have heard people talk "Is your file system flagged largefile",
how do you check this and how do you change it if, it isn't
set for large files.
mount -o remount,largefiles /mountpoint
Though I thought largefiles was enabled by default on Solaris 8
for ufs filesystems (you say you're not using vxfs, so I assume
it is ufs?). Add 'largefiles' to the last column for the filesystem
in /etc/vfstab. Use the same procedure if you happen to be using
vxfs. You can check to see if a filesystem is mounted largefile by
typing mount. For instance:
[agarvin@wt-web1 /]$ mount
/ on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/onerror=panic/dev=800000 on Thu May 29 11:15:26 2003
According to the largefile man page (man largefile), tar on
Solaris 8 is largefiles-aware. GNU tar may or may not be.
