FACT(s) (Environment):
AIX
SYMPTOM(s):
Running into filesize restrictions on AIX
max filesize exceeded write, BKXTN: write to disk failed. The database is being shutdown after that. A Progress database extent has a filesizelimit of 2 GB.
<function>:Maximum file size exceeded during <system call>, fd <file descriptor>, len <bytes>, offset <bytes>, file <file-name>. (9449)
CAUSE:
The default maximum filesize is 1.6.GB. A progress database will error when trying to expand past the default of 1.6 GB.
FIX:
To set the filesize on AIX to the maximum of 2 GB, a change must be made in the kernel settings. Please consult the Systems Administrator before making any changes to the UNIX kernel.
Use SMIT or vi (as root) to edit /etc/security/limits. The parameter, fsize, should be in the default section of this file. Set it to 4194304 (this is 2 GB in blocks of 512 kb)
After changing the parameter the machine needs to be rebooted before changes are taken into effect.
