According to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.genprogc/doc/genprogc/prg_lrg_files.htm : For the JFS, the maximum file size is determined by the parameters used at the time the file system was made. For JFS file systems that are enabled for large files, the maximum file size is slightly less than 64 gigabytes (0xff8400000). For all other JFS file systems, the maximum file size is 2Gb-1 (0x7fffffff). Attempts to write a file in excess of the maximum file size in any file system format will fail, and errno will be set to EFBIG. (I'm not under AIX, but EFBIG is 27 here) What does test_largefile output? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11184> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
