Thanks a lot funksen.

I check the fsize on the NFS Server & it is equal to unlimited, but I detect that the problem was from the NFS Client.

The following are what I did before solving the problem:
1- I changed the fsize to unlimited by invoking the command:
ulimit -f unlimited unlimited
2- I exit & relogin again. The problem still exist & if run ulimit -a the fsize return to its default value.
Steps that I resolve the problem:
1- I changed the fsize to unlimited using SMIT:
a) Run smitty.
b) Go through SMIT main menu (Security & Users --> Users --> Change / Show Characteristics of a User).
c) For the root & nobody users I changed the parameters Soft FILE size & Hard FILE size to value -1.
2- I exit & relogin again. The problem disappeared & if run ulimit -a the fsize returns the value unlimited.
To confirm that every thing is fine I run the below command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=testFile bs=1048576 count=409

This command is to create a new file with size of 4GB, and when I run it before changing the limitations of the Filesystem, it was tirmenate after the file size reached 1GB only. After I changed the Filesystem limitations it is run without problems & generate a new file caled testFile with size of 4GB.

The normal JFS filesystem will not accomodate a file size of 2G or over without the large file enabled being set. Use the lsfs command to check the settings on the filesystem.
