The VxFS File System

Support for Large Files

The mount command defaults to match the current setting of the on-disk

ﬂag if speciﬁed without the largefiles or nolargefiles option, so it’s

best not to specify either option. After a ﬁle system is mounted, you can

use the fsadm utility to change mount options.

Managing a File System with Large Files

You can determine the current status of the largeﬁles ﬂag with any of the

following commands:

# mount

# mkfs -F vxfs -m

special_device

# fsadm -F vxfs

mount_point

You can switch capabilities on a mounted ﬁle system with the fsadm

command:

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles|nolargefiles

mount_point

You cannot switch a ﬁle system to nolargefiles if it holds large ﬁles.

See mount_vxfs(1M), fsadm_vxfs(1M), and mkfs_vxfs(1M).
