160G SAN FS on JFS
Hi All,

I can't create a FS from a SAN VG with size of 160G on JFS (NOT JFS2, requirement with application) with large file enabled.

It only let me create 64G in maximum size. The actual size of SAN VG is also 160G, the FS can be smaller than 160G because of the inode allocation.

Please show me the steps, the OS is AIX 53.

Thanks in advance.

when creating a 160G FS with JFS, need to change the inode to 16384, the default 4096 which is limited to 64G. then create the FS with large file, don't create the lv first, if you want a specific name with lv then change it after the creation of fs with "chlv -n newlv oldlv".

regards.
