What is the maximum filesystem size on a 7xx, running HP-UX 9.X HP-UX 10.X?
On a 7xx series, the maximum filesystem size under an UNPATCHED HP/UX 9.01 is 2Gb. There is a patch available which will increase the maximum filesystem size to 4Gb. Under 9.03, 9.05, and 9.07 the maximum filesystem is already 4Gb. Under HP/UX 10.X, the maximum filesystem size is also 4Gb. The maximum size of any file (not filesystem) is either 2Gb, or the size of the filesystem on which that files resides, whichever is smaller. Ie: You can not store a 1Gb file on a 500Mb filesystem. The maximum size of the boot system is 2Gb under both 9.x and 10.x You can play with this, if you have a > 2Gb disk, by allocating swap equal to the balance, or some other such feature. But in general, it’s probably best (at least for now) to use a 2Gb boot disk, and use that bigger disk for something else. >From: Tom Lane
