Question was
============
Using HP-UX B.11.00 on a 9000/800 server
fbackup aborts when reaching 2GB
writing on a dump file placed in a 18GB free LV.
On the fbackup man page I can read: With release
10.20, HP-UX supports large files (greater than 2GB).

Solution
========
I had to create the FileSystem with the "largefiles"
option, as for example:

$ lvcreate -L 34720 -n lvol1 /dev/vg09
$ newfs -o delaylog,largefiles /dev/vg09/rlvol1
$ mount -o delaylog,largefiles /dev/vg09/lvol1 /backup/vg09

If already created, you can add this and other options with

$ umount ...
$ fsadm -F vxfs -o delaylog,largefiles /dev/vg09/rlvol1
$ mount ...

You can verify the current options with

$ fsadm -F vxfs /backup/vg09

Now I have big files :-))
Best regards,
Stefano
