From: Stu on
I have a file that I am trying to uncompress, with plenty of room on
my file system
(see below for both)

ls -tl *.Z
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 528480379 Jul 24 15:31 jutildm0.txt.Z

df -g .
Filesystem GB blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/oraclelv 16.91 11.11 35% 16735 1% /oracle

I have the following values set for ulimit

ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 32768
memory(kbytes) 32768
coredump(blocks) 2048
nofiles(descriptors) 2000


Can somebody explain why the uncompress command is giving me this
error
and how do I fix the problem.

jutildm0.txt: A file cannot be larger than the value set by ulimit.

Note: I am running AIX 5.3.

Thanks in advance to all who answer this question
