Creating > 2GB file
I am trying to execute a database dump to a file, but can't seem to get around the 2GB file size. I have tried setting the user limit to -1, but no luck.

I assume you are running jfs and not jfs2 - so you have to change the logical volumes themselves to allow filesizes above 2 GB
