Soalris 10 Filesystem Size Limit

Hi,
I was under the impression that the maximum filesystem size limit as of Solaris 9 Rev 4 was > 2TB. I have installed Solaris 10 on my system. But, when I tried to format a 2.8TB raid set, "format" tells me that the capacity of this LUN is too large and to reconfigure it so that it is < 2TB.

Hi,
I have received some information from the raid unit vendor. They say:
---------- Start of quote ----------
Your problem is most likely due to the sd.conf file setting and the capacity beyond 2TB per LUN Per SCSI ID#.
Please make sure that your sd.conf file offers enough number of LUNs and SCSI ID# as well as try to cut the LUNs to less than 2TB.
Please note although that Sun allows the over 2TB capacity, but you may have limitation at the SCSI controller level. Please check your SCSI adapter configuration and ask the vendor to verify beyond 2TB per SCSI ID#.
---------- End of quote ----------
The system I am trying to connect this raid unit to is a Sun Fire 280R. Does it support the over 2TB capacity per SCSI ID#?

  • Solaris-x86 mount fat32 partition, the partition max size limit?

    solaris10 x86, laptop, 10G FAT32 partition for windows & x86 exchange data.
    the fat32 partition mount as normal, can be read fine.
    but write some file by x86, that can not find by windows.
    anyboy know did the solaris-x86 mount fat32 partition, the partition max size limit? or no limit, why this problem occur?

    Mounting Windows partition in Solaris
    The easiest way to share data now is to do it through a FAT32 partition. Solaris
    recognises it as partition of type pcfs. It is specified as device:drive where drive is
    either the DOS logical drive letter (c through z) or a drive number (1 through 24).
    Drive letter c is equivalent to drive number 1 and represents the Primary DOS partition
    on the disk; drive letters d through z are equivalent to drive numbers 2 through 24,
    and represent DOS drives within the Extended DOS partition.Syntax is
    mount -F pcfs device:drive /directroy-name
    where directory name specifies the location where the file system is mounted.
    To mount the first logical drive (d:) in the Extended DOS partition from an IDE hard
    disk in the directory /d use
    mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:d /d
    You can use mount directory-name after appending following line is in
    /etc/vfstab file
    device:drive directory-name pcfs no rw
    for example
    c0d0s0:c /c pcfs no rw
    If your windows partition like the following means
    C: - NTFS, D:-FAT32, E:-NTFS, F:-FAT32
    Then you can only mount D, F not C & E.
    Mounting D Drive:
    mount -F pcfs /dev/disk/c0d0p0:c /mountpoint
    Mounting F Drive
    mount -F pcfs /dev/disk/c0d0p0:d /mountpoint
    The driveletter only for fat not including other file systems (ntfs or any linux filesystems).

  • Max UFS filesystems size for Solaris 2.X

    What are the max limits on UFS filesystem sizes for Solaris 2.6, 8 and 9?
    Thanks

    It's called a "search". ;) SunSolve Info Doc 76856.
    Solaris 2.6 - 8 -- 1 TB limit
    Solaris 9 and higher - 16 TB limit
    Individual files, however, can only be about 1,012 GB.

  • File Size limit of Solaris 7

    Hi All.
    A quick, and probably easy question. What is Solaris 7 File size limit?
    I have seen a kbase saying that its 2gib for Solaris 2.x but this was dated in 1997. Has it changed?
    I have looked around the sun site and not come across it.
    TIA
    Phillip Malone

    Hi there,<br><br>
    Let me clear some confusion here.<br>
    Although the maximum file size was 2GB for Solaris version 2.1<br>
    to 2.5.1, since Solaris 2.6, large file support was introduced<br>
    and now the maximum size for a file is approximately 1TB<br>
    (Tera Byte).<br>
    After that, you can also use a Veritas File system to increase<br>
    yet again this size. Here's the break down:<br><br>
    <pre>
    S2.6 - max FILE size in UFS - 1 TB (actually slightly smaller
    since it needs to be contained in a filesystem)
    max FILE SYSTEM size in UFS - 1 TB (actually)
    max FILE size in VxFS - 8000 TB
    max FILE SYSTEM size in VxFS - bigger. I don't know how big.
    bigger than we can test.
    S7 - all same as S2.6.
    S8 - all same as S2.6.
    </PRE>
    <br><br>
    Now, the ULIMIT variable that can be set in the <br>
    /etc/default/login file is a limit used to control the <br>
    resources available to the current shell. It has nothing<br>
    to do with the intrinsic limit of the operating system<br>
    and setting to 0 certainly does not allow to get around the<br>
    OS limitations. <br><br>
    Hope this helped.<br><br>

  • Size limit of 16TiB to sparsebundle files?

    I manage several servers with higher disk volumes. Some use OsX.
    At one particular customer, the OsX 10.7.5 fileserver has 21TB available and the OsX 10.8.4 backupserver has 25TB. Using TimeMachine we stumbled across an apparent size limit of 16TiB (17.59TB) for sparsebundle files. Whenever we try to expand the sparsebundle beyond that size, we receive error messages about exceeding `the´ size limit.
    Which one? I found no information regarding such limitations. AFAIK, a sparsebundle is a virtual "Mac OS Extended" filesystem [partition in a virtual disk], which should be able to grow up to 8EiB since OsX 10.4 and the sparsebundle itself resides on a filesystem of that type also. So it's size limit should be 8EiB too. I see no reason, why a sparsebundle should have limits far less.
    How can I create (resize) sparsebundles to, say, 20TB?

    If there's a fixed limit to the size of an OS X disk image, it's not publicly documented anywhere that I know of. That doesn't mean there is no limit. Your customer may be the first person in history to have tried to create one that large. He should be mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records.

  • "Convert Text to Table" Size limit issue?

    Alphabetize a List
    I’ve been using this well known work around for years.
    Select your list and in the Menu bar click Format>Table>Convert Text to Table
    Select one of the column’s cells (1st click selects entire table, 2nd click selects individual cell)
    Open “Table Inspector” (Click Table icon at top of Pages document)
    Make sure “table” button is selected, not “format” button
    Choose Sort Ascending from the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up menu
    Finally, click Format>Table>Convert Table to Text.
    A few days ago I added items & my list was 999 items long, ~22 pages.
    Tonight, I added 4 more items. Still the same # pages but now 1,003 items long.
    Unable to Convert Text to Table! Tried for 45 minutes. I think there is a list length limit, perhaps 999 items?
    I tried closing the document w/o any changes. Re-opening Pages & re-adding my new items to the end of the list as always & once again when I highlight list & Format>Table>Convert Text to Table .....nothing happens! I could highlight part of the list up to 999 items & leave the 4 new items unhighlighted & it works. I pasted the list into a new doc and copied a few items from the middle of the list & added them to the end of my new 999 list to make it 1003 items long (but different items) & did NOT work. I even attempted to add a single new item making the list an even 1000 items long & nope, not working. Even restarted iMac, no luck.
    I can get it to work with 999 or fewer items easily as always but no way when I add even a single new item.
    Anyone else have this problem?  It s/b easy to test out. If you have a list of say, 100 items, just copy & repeatedly paste into a new document multiple times to get over 1,000 & see if you can select all & then convert it from text to table.
    Thanks!
    Pages 08 v 3.03
    OS 10.6.8

    G,
    Yes, Pages has a table size limit, as you have discovered. Numbers has a much greater capacity for table length, so if you do your sort in Numbers you won't have any practical limitation.
    A better approach than switching to Numbers for the sort would be to download, install and activate Devon Wordservice. Then you could sort your list without converting it to a table.

    Check if there is another JCo connection configured with the same IP and User. I have found in the past that even though there are two connections configured because they have the same ip and user they are put into one pool with the lowest max pool of the two connections.

  • [SOLVED] df -h does not reflect true root filesystem size

    Why does df -h show root filesystem as being only 20G?
    df -h
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/mapper/cryptroot 20G 15G 4.6G 76% /

    tmpfs 1.6G 8.0K 1.6G 1% /run/user/1000
    That is what my df -h output looks like. My setup is full disk encryption using dm-crypt with LUKS, per the guide on arch wiki. I basically created one /boot partition and left the rest of the disk to be an encrypted partition for the root filesystem. So why is my system complaining about (and acting as if it's running out of space)? Have I forgotten something?
    Thank you for reading this. Let me know if you need any more logs or info on my setup - I realise I haven't provided very much info here, but I can't think of what to provide.

  • Is there a way to put more apps (increase the folder size limit) in iOS 5.0.1 on iPad2

    I read on some site that there is an app that allows one to increase the desktop folder size limit in iOS 5.0.1 on an iPad2 does anyone have any info please?
    Thanks for any thoughts in advance.....
    Dave

    Firstly, Thanks for taking the time to reply :-) 
    It's not that I want gazillions of apps, I just wanted to put more in each folder so I don't have to have multiple folders with similar names....Weather1, 2, 3,etc.... but I see your point and appreciate the thoughts.

  • How do I change the attachment size limit in Calendar Server 6.3, UWC, IWC?

    How do I properly increase or decrease the attachment size limit with Calendar Server and all supported user interfaces to it such as WCAP, UWC (Communications Express) and IWC (Convergence)? From my experience with the Outlook Connector, there seems to be some limit imposed by cshttpd on the size of a file upload (I believe I actually got an HTTP error code back on the wcap request indicating something was too big, sorry I don't have it handy, I'll have to re-test). Additionally, it seems UWC imposes additional limits (Example: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4440/6n6jfgcjh?l=en&a=view&q=fileSizeHardLimit) but I can't seem to get those to work at all. I found many different web.xml related to UWC and I'm not sure which one to change, I tried a couple but had no success because UWC would always report this error if I uploaded between 4-5 megs: com.iplanet.jato.util.WrapperRuntimeException
    Root cause = [java.io.IOException: Request cancelled because file input field
    "importFile" size is over the configurable limit of 4194304 bytes; see filter init
    parameter fileSizeHardLimit]
    And it would complain about requestSizeLimit I think if it was over 5 megs, claiming that limit was 5242880. IWC gives a generic error when the upload is too big and rejects it.
    I fear that a 4 meg limit will be too imposing and of limited value, so I would either like to raise it, or consider lowering it to 0 bytes so attachments cannot be used at all. I have been looking high and low for information on how to do this and all I can find is the UWC examples. I plan to support the Outlook Connector, UWC, and IWC so the limits should ideally be the same across each. Some of the Exchange data we wish to import does have some attachments so it would be good to continue support for that. I did see some other posts about quota RFEs but at this point I am not concerned about the disk consumption. Can anyone help? Thanks. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. I am running SCS6u1 on Solaris 10 SPARC.

    Thanks!!! This is working with IWC and I am pretty sure it will work with Outlook. I didn't think to look at config options for mshttpd since I don't have it installed and ics.conf doesn't list the http.service.maxmessagesize and service.http.maxpostsize by default.http.service.maxmessagesize is only relevant to mshttpd, not cshttpd. service.http.maxpostsize applies to both.
    UWC is still limiting me though; I'm sure I can reconfigure UWC if I just know which file to edit and if I need to redeploy anything. I'm using the same install paths as the SCS6 Single Host example and I'm not sure which the "uwc-deployed-path" is supposed to be. Again, thanks.If you have deployed UWC/CE to Application Server you would edit the following file and restart application-server:

  • LabView RT FTP file size limit

    I have created a few very large AVI video clips on my PXIe-8135RT (LabView RT 2014).  When i try to download these from the controller's drive to a host laptop (Windows 7) with FileZilla, the transfer stops at 1GB (The file size is actually 10GB).
    What's going on?  The file appears to be created correctly and I can even use AVI2 Open and AVI2 Get Info to see that the video file contains the frames I stored.  Reading up about LVRT, there is nothing but older information which claim the file size limit is 4GB, yet the file was created at 10GB using the AVI2 VIs.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    As usual, the answer was staring me right in the face.  FileZilla was reporting the size in an odd manner and the file was actually 1GB.  The vi I used was failing.  After fixing it, it failed at 2GB with error -1074395965 (AVI max file size reached).

  • [AS3 AIR] 2880x2880 Size Limit, Camera, Filter, CameraRoll Issues & Finger Friendly Components

    AS3 AIR ANDROID
    I started playing with this Adobe AIR for Adroid by building an app that would let the user take a picture using the mobile device's native camera app.  Then, I'm applying filter effects to make the image look cool.  Then, I'm allowing the user to save the image back to the camera roll.
    Here are some questions that I have:
    KEEPING UP WITH CURRENT TECHNOLOGY
    Are we limited to the 2880x2880 stage size limit?  Although, this dimension does yield 8+megapixels, it's not in the ratio that most camera sensors are built (widescreen).  Plus, you can bet that newer cameras will have even higher dimensions.  Will this be updated to keep up with current technology requirements?
    IMPORTING & MANIPULATING CAMERA DATA
    Code
    var bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData($loader.width, $loader.height);
    bmpData.draw(DisplayObject($loader));
    bmp = new Bitmap(bmpData);
    bmp.width = Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
    bmp.height = Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
    if (CameraRoll.supportsAddBitmapData) {
        var cameraRoll:CameraRoll = new CameraRoll();              
        cameraRoll.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, onCrError);
        cameraRoll.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCrComplete);
        var savedBmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData (bmp.width, bmp.height);
        savedBmpData.draw(DisplayObject(bmp));
        cameraRoll.addBitmapData(savedBmpData);
    } else {
        trace("~" + "Camera Roll not supported for this device.");
    addChild(bmp);
    When you capture an image using the mobile device's camera app, you have to use the Loader object.
    So, here, I am doing just that with these steps:
    First, I'm creating a BitmapData object and sizing it the same as the camera image.
    Pass the camera image into the BitmapData object.
    Create a Bitmap object and pass in the BitmapData.
    Resize it to fit on the stage.
    Check for Camera Roll and then create a savedBmpData BitmapData object at the size of the screen.
    Pass in the bmp.
    Save it to the Camera Roll.
    The problem is that when the image is displayed on the phone, it shows THE ENTIRE (uncropped) image.  However, the image that is saved to the phone is only the top 800x480 corner of the image.  What is wrong?  How do we save an image to the Camera Roll that is larger than the display area of the phone.  It seems like the only way to save the entire camera image is to resize it to fit the stage and then capture the stage into a bitmapData object.
    FILTERS
    If you apply any filters to the bitmapData object, the filter effects will display on the phone, but if the image is saved to the Camera Roll, then all the filters are lost and it only saves the original (unfiltered) image.
    FINGER FRIENDLY UI COMPONENTS
    Do they exist?
    ADDITIONAL NOTES
    The max image size that can be saved is 2039x2039 pixels on the HTC Evo.  Anything bigger than this resulted in a CameraRoll Error #1 (which there is no documentation for what that means ANYWHERE on the web).

  • HT4863 How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

    How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

    You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big.  Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

  • FILE and FTP Adapter file size limit

    Hi,
    Oracle SOA Suite ESB related:
    I see that there is a file size limit of 7MB for transferring using File and FTP adapter and that debatching can be used to overcome this issue. Also see that debatching can be done only for strucutred files.

    Ok Here are the steps
    1. Create an inbound file adapter as you normally would. The schema is opaque, set the polling as required.
    2. Create an outbound file adapter as you normally would, it doesn't really matter what xsd you use as you will modify the wsdl manually.
    3. Create a xsd that will read your file. This would typically be the xsd you would use for the inbound adapter. I call this address-csv.xsd.
    4. Create a xsd that is the desired output. This would typically be the xsd you would use for the outbound adapter. I have called this address-fixed-length.xsd. So I want to map csv to fixed length format.
    5. Create the xslt that will map between the 2 xsd. Do this in JDev, select the BPEL project, right-click -> New -> General -> XSL Map
    6. Edit the outbound file partner link wsdl, the the jca operations as the doc specifies, this is my example.

        <types>
            <schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
                    targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/"
                    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                    xmlns:FILEAPP="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/">
                <element name="OutboundFileHeaderType">
                    <complexType>
                        <sequence>
                            <element name="fileName" type="string"/>
                            <element name="sourceDirectory" type="string"/>
                            <element name="sourceFileName" type="string"/>
                            <element name="targetDirectory" type="string"/>
                            <element name="targetFileName" type="string"/>                       
                        </sequence>
                    </complexType>
                </element> 
            </schema>
        </types>   8. the last trick is to have an assign between the inbound header to the outbound header partner link that copies the headers. You only need to copy the sourceDirectory and SourceGileName
        <assign name="Assign_Headers">
          <copy>
            <from variable="inboundHeader" part="inboundHeader"
                  query="/ns2:InboundFileHeaderType/ns2:fileName"/>
            <to variable="outboundHeader" part="outboundHeader"
                query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:sourceFileName"/>
          </copy>
          <copy>
            <from variable="inboundHeader" part="inboundHeader"
                  query="/ns2:InboundFileHeaderType/ns2:directory"/>
            <to variable="outboundHeader" part="outboundHeader"
                query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:sourceDirectory"/>
          </copy>
        </assign>you should be good to go. If you just want pass through then you don't need the native format set to opaque, with no XSLT

  • JVM heap size limit under Windows

    Hi,
    I'm looking either for some help with a workaround, or
    confirmation that the information I've found is still the case for the
    current state of Java.
    Development machine is Win XP Pro, 2G RAM.
    Biggest heap I can allocate is about 1.6G, and that is not large enough for this
    app.
    I have a Swing application that
    1) must run on Win XP, 32 bit
    2) must implement an editor (similar to Excel but with fewer features) to handle large csv files
    ( up to about 800Mb).
    3) Strong preference for Java 5, though higher could conceivably be supported.
    Research so far tells me that this is the result of process memory limitations
    of Windows and the JVM, and that I might be able to squeeze a little more heap with
    Windows' rebase command, but probably not enough and I would start running the
    risk of conflicts with other applications on my users' systems. Ugh.
    Also I read of the Windows /3GB switch, but posts say that the JDK's available are not
    built to be able to use that feature. I havent had a chance to add memory to
    test that yet. However, I'm also under the impression that I should be able to
    allocate a heap larger than physical RAM ... except for that process size limit.
    So ... my information is basically that I'm stuck with a limit of about 1.6G for
    heap size, regardless of the RAM on my computer.
    Can anyone confirm whether that is still correct, preferably with a pointer to some
    official reference ?
    Or better yet, point me toward a workaround?
    Thanks!

    The first link pulled together what I found in lots of bits and pieces elsewhere, nice to have a coherent summary :)
    The second link offered a bit of insight into the jvm that I hadn't seen yet .
