First off I would like to thank everyone for there suggestions.
And the award goes to Changa Anderson and Mark Luntzel who both gave the
following solution ...
VXFS large file support is enabled during the mkfs process. You can check
your
vxfs filesystems by doing the following:
for name in `grep vxfs /etc/mnttab | awk '{print $1}'`
do
/usr/lib/fs/vxfs/mkfs -m $name
done
If you see nolargefiles, then it's not supported. The beautiful thing about
VXFS is that you can change this while the filesystems are mounted by doing
the
following:
for name in `grep vxfs /etc/mnttab | awk '{print $2}'`
do
/usr/lib/fs/vxfs/fsadm -o largefiles $name
done
Changa
For some reason the person who created the second set of disks did not
enable largefiles on them ...
THANKS GUYS,
Ted Carr

Subject: Problem copying large files.
It was pointed out I did not mention what platform I was doing this on. I
have two SUN E6500 connected to a HDS 3tb Disk Array by way of a fiber
bridge. We are using Solaris 2.6 (for now) and running VxFS, but I am not
sure whether Large File support has been enabled.
I have tried the following commands already but to no avail ...
vxdump 0f - /oradata/disk06 | (cd /oradata2/disk06; vxrestore xf -)
tar cf - /oradata/disk06 | (cd /oradata2/disk06;tar xvf -)

Masters...
I need to copy a few 4gb - 6gb ORACLE files from one drive to another, but
cp is dying at around 2gb. I thought it was supposed to be able to handle
files larger than 2gb. Anyone have any suggestions or can tell me what I am
doing wrong?
Thank You
Ted Carr
