Full Discussion: Creating a shared filesystem
Operating Systems AIX Creating a shared filesystem Post 302102954 by aldowsary on Monday 15th of January 2007 12:51:46 PM

Thank you very much funksen, you guide me to the right way, because I never used a Shared Folders or Filesystems on UNIX platforms.

Because this thread about sharing I would like to share with you what I did.

First thing, the purpose of creating a Shared Filesystem is to Migrate huge data (1.2 TB) from old system to the new one.

The steps that I walked through it are:

A) On the New System:
1- Creating a filesystem called /bkup (JFS2) , with size of 1.2TB.
2- Starting the NFS Deamons using command startsrc -g nfs.
3- Exporting the /bkup filesystem using SMIT as below:
smit mknfsexp
B) On the Old System:
1- Creating a directory called /bkup.
2- Starting the NFS Deamons using command startsrc -g nfs.
3- Mounting the /bkup filesystem as following:
mount newsys:/bkup /bkup
Unfortunately, I encountered a problem that prevent me from completing the whole task. The problem was related to Filesystem limitations, and it happens with me from the Old System.

Actually, I can not copy a file that exceed 2GB to this filesystem (/bkup) or creating a file with size more than 2GB on this filesystem.

I hope if any body can told me how I can make the /bkup filesystem accepts Large Files although this filesystem was created on the New System & it is Enhanced Journal Filesystem.

Thank in advance.
