NFS file transfer limitation

Hello friends,

i hace a problem in nfs file transfer

i mounted hp-unix directory into linux directory

the command i used:
Code:
mount <IP_Address>:/home/new /usr/new

i have already done everything in linux side for exporting.

then i tried to copy a file which one size is 18 gb but file transfer stops exactly 16 gb.

i tried more than 6 times and i also tried in some other machines.
but the problem still exits.

please guide me how can i overcome this problem.

What version of HP-UX and NFS are running on the target system? And what filesystem type are you writing to?

Have you tried to gzip the file before copying it? reducing the size will reduce the execution time which may be a concern here...

If you exported from HP-UX to linux then what do you mean by

?
You are moving from which box to which box?
Because I have never heard of a limitation on HP-UX side, I used to on 11.11 when changing disks from boxes (ok on SAN...) used to mount NFS between HP-UX and copy far more... (up to 72GB...) the only difference is the size of file... I dont remember if I did with files that size because not sure I had anything like that... and it was more that 4 years ago...
But I remember some solaris doing FTP with big files bringing down networks years ago that is why I say time is important, have you checked the elapsed time each time with / with no gziped? does it give always the same result?
That sort of thing I may consider using other commands than a mv via NFS
