ant:/home/vbe $ fsadm -F vxfs /sas_wks
vxfs fsadm: Cannot open /dev/esvg02/rlvol1: Permission denied
after a little su for you must be root for this...

ant:/home/vbe $ fsadm -F vxfs /sas_wks

How to enable (if this is the issue...)
Use:
# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg??/rmylvol
or
# mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg??/mylvol /mymount
Make sure that you make the necessary changes to /etc/fstab as well
/dev/vg??/mylvol /mymount vxfs rw,suid,largefiles,...inlog 0 2
