Is the filesystem "large file enabled"???.

People,

Couple of collegues of mine are trying to transfer some data from an old
server to a new server. The data in question is small map image tiles.
They have a 48gb flesystem with these files in it on the old system.

The filesystem backs up ok but halfway through the restore on the new
system the restore fails with a message about being unable to write to the
current file to disk. A df at this point shows that the filesystem they
are restoring into has lots of space left in it (>20gb) and plenty of
inodes left. If they then try to create a file in that filesystem from the
command line (e.g. yes > yes.out) its size max's out at 32kb.

The old server is running AIX 4.2.1 whilst the new server is running AIX
4.3.3 ML10. Files are transported via tape using backup/restore.

Any ideas?

Tim
