Hi Mike,
Are you sure this is jfs2? What does lsfs -q show you? There is no
"large file enablement" for jfs2 as all jfs2 filesystems are large file
enabled by default. Also with jfs2, the size of a file is limited to
the size of the filesystem. I believe jfs2 is 6TB. Also with jfs2 there
are no NBPI settings, only a block size (I doublechecked on my 5.1 and
5.2 servers just to be sure). To me it sounds like you still have a jfs
filesystem set up, which explains the 64GB file limitation.
