Managing a file system with large files includes the following tasks:
Determining the current status of the large files flag
Switching capabilities on a mounted file system
Switching capabilities on an unmounted file system
To determine the current status of the largefiles flag, type either of the following commands:
# mkfs -F vxfs -m special_device # fsadm -F vxfs mount_point | special_device
To switch capabilities on a mounted file system:
# fsadm -F vxfs -o [no]largefiles mount_point
To switch capabilities on an unmounted file system:
# fsadm -F vxfs -o [no]largefiles special_device
You cannot change a file system to nolargefiles if it contains large files.
See the mount_vxfs(1M), fsadm_vxfs(1M), and mkfs_vxfs(1M) manual pages.
