    "big file" Support?
    You mean the "bf"-Option for jfs-Filesystems, when creating new Filesystems?
    See
    man crfs
    <snip>
    -a bf={ true | false }
    Specifies a large file enabled file system. See
    "Understanding Large File Enabled File Systems" for more
    information. If you do not need a large file enabled file
    system, set this option to false; this is the default.
    Specifying bf=true requires a fragment size of 4096 and
    compress=no.
    <snip>
    To check it, simply execute:
    lsjfs
    on your System. There is a column named "bf".

    The limit could be your ulimit Setting.
    man ulimit
    will guide you to set it the right way, to create "Big Files".

    Cheers,
    ku

    Hello, by default you cannot create file over 2Gb.
    change your ulimit setting "soft core file size".
