Re: Formatting disk for adsm storage pool (Some more info)

# grep 27 /usr/include/sys/errno.h
/* @(#)49       1.27.1.10  src/bos/kernel/sys/errno.h, incstd, bos411, 9438C411c
 9/23/94 19:32:38 */
 * ORIGINS: 27,71
#define EFBIG   27      /* File too large   */

Check out /etc/security/limits; you will find that the maximum file size in set 
to
somthing less than 10 GB.  Probably 1 GB, which is the default.  Set it to -1 
for
the root user to make it unlimited.  You should be able to log out and log back 
in
for this to take effect.

Cheers...
