Thanks in advance for the help. Does anyone know the maximum file size AIX 4.3.3 will address along with an IBM reference or redbook reference? I sure would appreciate it.

I also heard 5.x max file size addressability would be infinite. Is there any truth to that?

Thanks!

Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

2GB limit on AIX 4.3

JFS
Architectural maximum file system size 1 TB
Architectural maximum file size 64 GB 4 PB

JFS2 - enhanced journaled filesystem
Architectural maximum file system size 4 PB
Architectural maximum file size 4 PB

Here is an excellent redbook for learning AIX/pSeries:
IBM Redbooks | IBM Certification Study Guide eServer p5 and pSeries Administration and Support for AIX 5L Version 5.3

Don't forget the the filesize ulimit also affects how big a file can be.

yeah, great point. i once spent a half hour trying to increase the max filesize on a system with ulimit only to learn that you have to first set the hard limit in /security/limits
