Enable large filesize option in NFS mount in AIX 4.3

Hi All,

I have a NFS mount filesystem, however it is not supporting a creation of filesize greater than 2 GB in it, how can i enable the option (bf = true) in it.

The AIX version is 4.3.2

Thanks in Advance!!

bf=true was used together with mkfs. Not sure if you can alter it afterwards with something like chfs -a bf=true /somefs.

Anyway here is a good post from aixqueen (scroll down) with some warnings what to take care of when enabling this, as well as a note to ulimits etc.:
IBM: AIX - File size > 2Gig
