Hi (again)

For DISK based volumes ADSM seems to be limited to 2Gb files, e.g.,

        ./dsmfmt -m -data /disk3/adsm/backup01.dsm 4000

gives me

        File size for /disk3/adsm/backup03.dsm must be less than 2 GB

And trying to use a raw partition > 2Gb gives just "volume not available".

Does anyone know if this limit is to be raised?  Is it only present on
Solaris?  Is it only me?

It would be nice to be able to use 4Gb disks.  Using 2 x 2Gb files on
the same disk seems to be a *bad* idea --- ADSM wants to use them both
at the same time and so throughput drops.
