Thanks for reaching out.
I'm primarily a Linux administrator and don't dabble much with HP-UX so if you need additional info, please let me know.
The HP-UX server is attached to EMC storage. Our Linux servers were previously backing up to a legacy Sun Solaris server but we've run out of space there so I'm trying to shift the scripts to now backup to the HP server. I've created the logical volume and filesystem from scratch. As mentioned, everything seems to be working as expected with the exception of using dump from Linux to this filesystem. The Linux servers are using the dump options "0uf". I've tried 0auf to no avail. Thanks again for reaching out.

Keep in mind that the exact same script works flawlessly to both a Solaris server and another Linux server. As soon as I change one of the variables to point to the HP-UX server, it craps out after 2GB every time. The dump is over SSH. I've also tried RSH but got the same results. Thanks.

Proof that the filesystem in question does in fact support large files:
(I've also scp'd an 8GB file from the same Linux server to the filesystem)

Hi,
I have a problem writing or copying a file 2GB or larger to either the second or third disk on my C8000. I've searched this forum and found some good information on this but still nothing to solve the problem.

Any idea how to get around this limit? I have a 42GB database backup file (.dmp) taking up disk space because neither tar nor cpio are able to put it onto a tape. I am on a SUN Solaris using SunOS 5.8. I would appreciate whatever help can be provided. Thanks! (9 Replies)

Hi,
Am trying to run zip -r on a 2.4G directory and it is failing with the error below. I believe this is because of the 2G limit of the zip program.

df
df(1) General Commands Manual df(1)Name
df - display free and used disk space
Syntax
df [-i] [-l] [-n] [filesystem...] [file...]
Description
The command displays the amount of disk space available on the specified file system, for example, It also displays the amount of available
disk space on the file system in which the specified file is contained, for example, If a device is given that has no file systems mounted
on it, displays the information for the root file system. Without any arguments or options, displays shows all mounted filesystems,
including those manually mounted without use of the file. The numbers are reported in kilobytes.
Unless the -n option is specified, updates the statistics stored in memory for the file system specified, before it returns the informa-
tion.
Options-i Also report the number of used and free inodes.
-l Reports on locally mounted disks only.
-n Do not update the file system statistics stored in memory. Instead, return whatever statistics are stored in memory. This prevents
from hanging in the event that a server containing the specified file system is down.
Restrictions
You cannot use the command to find free space on an unmounted file system using the block or character special device name. Instead, use
the command.
Examples
% df
Filesystem Total kbytes kbytes %
node kbytes used free used Mounted on
/dev/ra1a 7429 2085 4602 31% /tmp
/dev/ra0e 30519 14817 12651 54% /usr/spool
/dev/ra0h 313233 122858 159052 44% /usr/staff1
The total disk space is the total space that was created during the making of the file system. The addition of the used space, the free
space and a percentage of reserved space is the total space. The default value for the reserved space is 10%.
