Which version of Sybase you are using ? 
I have tried this , but there appears to be sybase limitation that it can't 
create dump files size
greater than 2 GB, Then I had to stripe the Dump. 
Please let me know if you succeed in creating sybase dumpfile greater than 2GB 
, what version of SYBASE you are using ? 
Use prealloc command just to simulate wheather file system is able to 
accomodate file
greater than 2 GB . 
In my case prealloc was able to create greater than 2GB even then sybase was 
giving same error
'file too large'.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Rod,
   By default you can't create a file which is bigger than 2GB in size in
any file system (HFS/VxFS) inspite of the fact that HP-UX 10.20 supports a
single file/filesystem size of upto 128GB because support of largefiles is
disabled by default. To display the filesystem statistics whether it has
support for largefiles or not, you can use the command below which will give
you output like this:

# fsadm -F hfs /dev/vg00/lvol4
file system             :      /dev/vg00/lvol4
magic number            :                95014
feature bits            :                    1
file system supports    : nolargefiles, longfilenames

   If it says "nolargefiles" in the last line then there is no support for
files beyond 2GB size. You can enable this support by using a command
something like this:

# fsadm -F hfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/lvol1

>Can I create a larger file in a vxfs system?
 Ya, you can.

>I'm running HP-UX 10.20 which has vxfs but not jfs.
 There is no diffrence between these names and are used interchangabley.

>There appears to be no 'setext' command on the system.
What is this command for? It looks like it is used to increase the extents
in the filesystem. Anyway, but there is no such command in HP-UX or AIX as
far as I know.

Cheers!

Pushkar.

Subject: [HPADM] maximum file size

I have a sybase database being dumped into an hfs file system, and it seems
to create a file of 2.4 gigabytes. However the backup server creates a slew
of "file too large" messages after 2 gigabytes is reached.  Can I create a
larger file in a vxfs system? I'm running HP-UX 10.20 which has vxfs but not
jfs.  There appears to be no 'setext' command on the system.
