See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge A file on an EFS filesystem can be only 2G in size. The filesystem can be no more than 8G in size, whether or not it is on a logical volume. A physical or logical volume can be larger than 8G, but not usefully so: mkfs still can't make a filesystem larger than 8G on it. (Each block (512 bytes) has a unique number which must fit into 24 bits; 512 * 2^24 = 8G. See also inode(4).) Note that 'fx' had a bug in versions of IRIX before 4.0.5H which prevented it from *exercising* disks larger than 2G, but other 'fx' functions and other parts of IRIX have no trouble with disks (filesystems) up to 8G. Files and filesystems on SGI's new XFS filesystem can be 1 terabyte (1K gigabytes) in size. On 64-bit machines running IRIX 6.2, a file will be able to be 9 exabytes (9 gigagigabytes) in size and a filesystem will be able to be 18 exabytes in size. See the misc FAQ under "WWW pages" for a pointer to a demonstration.
