AIX 4.3.3
Standard JFS Maximum File Size: 2GB
Large File Enable: 65412 MB
-------------------------------------------------------
To create file larger than 2GB,
1- The FS must be large file enabled
2- /etc/security/limits
default
fsize = -1
3- This could create file size up to 64GB
AIX 5.1 incorporates JFS2, which allows you to create a file as big as 1TB
( 1 Terabyte = 1,024 Gigabytes).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 bit = 1 binary unit ( smallest unit )
1 Nibble = 4 bits
1 Byte = 8 bits
1KB (Kilobyte) = 1000 bytes
1MB (Megabyte) = 1000 KB
1GB (Gigabyte) = 1000 MB
1TB (Terabyte) = 1000 GB = 1,000,000 MB
1PB (Petabyte) = 1000 TB
1EB (Exabyte) = 1000 PB
1ZB (Zettabyte) = 1000 EB
1YB (Yottabyte) = 1000 ZB
