Put this in the script containing the "sort" command.
Do not put it in /etc/profile or root's .profile because it refers to a filesystem which may not be mounted in every run state.
The "largefiles" option for fileystems is described in "man fsadm_vxfs", "man newfs_vxfs" and "man mkfs_vxfs". It allows you to create individual files larger than 2Gb. No really relevant to this thread.
Just for interest: To find out if you have any filesystems with "largefiles":

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
