I am unable to restore/ftp a file to my AIX 5.3 server. I am logged in as root:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(system) groups=2(bin),3(sys),7(security),8(cron),10(audit),11(lp)
I have set the fsize option in "/etc/security/limits" to "-1(unlimited)". I have confirmed this after rebooting the system, by the "ulimit -a" command:
# ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) unlimited
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 2000
I have received the following error:

I am answering my own question. The "ulimit" options were correct. The issue was my filesystem. I initially created the logical volumes as JFS. I tried to change the "allow large files" option to "true" when mounting the logical volume in SMIT, but the system would not allow this change. I have re-created them as JFS2 and was able to create files larger than 2 gig in size on the mount points.
