i didnt understand how to do this thinks :
Code:
Move the ulimit call in mksysb command to also cover verbose option

Nonetheless, please provide the output of ulimit -a from the account you are trying to do start the mksysb with.
Also please show the output of oslevel -s, thanks.

File system type is JFS
Code:
root@NIM# lsfs /dev/mksysblv
Name            Nodename   Mount Pt               VFS   Size    Options    Auto Accounting
