[brandz-discuss] "File size limit exceeded" centos 3.x lx zone

[Doug]

I have solaris 10u4 8/07 and installed a lx zone using the centos image from
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/brandz/downloads/centos_fs_image.tar.bz2

After installing and logging into the lx zone, I notice I cannot create files >4G.  For example, I try to create a 5G file:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/bigfile bs=1k count=5M
File size limit exceeded

The resulting /tmp/bigfile is 4G.  I tried to copy a 5G file from a NFSv3-mounted filesystem into /tmp but get same error and only 4G is copied.  I used cksum to read through the 5G file on the NFS filesystem and there was no error (so does not seem related to any large file size NFS issues.)

I have the zonepath (and /tmp)  on ZFS if that matters.   I get the same errors when I try to create large files on NFS mounted filesystems.

Is this a limit with brandz lx zones?

Thanks,
Doug
