Ok, there is the culprit. The problem is, that JFS does not support files larger than 2GB. The message from mksysb is confusing.
You should recreate the filesystem as JFS2. JFS is out of date and has lots of limitations. Your OS version is far above the use of JFS.
There is an option when creating a FS "Large File Enabled" or something similar, but iirc, there is no conversion possible.
I would recreate the FS as JFS2 and always and only use JFS2 in the future. Don't use JFS anymore.

I delete my previous fileystem and create a new one for the mksysb with jfs2 type.
But i have still the same problem :

Hm ok, then you should try to install the appropriate APAR fix from the link Xray has posted or update to at least 6100-06.

Hi,

have you tried to run the mksysb without the option verbose (-v)?

Code:
smitty mksysb
List files as they are backed up?                   no

Now it's working

After i changed my filesystem into JFS2, i restarted the system, then the mksysb was sucessfull.

Thank you for you help !!

Strange you had to reboot the system, but thanks for the feedback. That's the way to go!
