[CR #482344] On an IBM RS/6000 system, if you try to add a partition that is larger than 2GB, an error is caused. The following is an example of the error:
Msg 6029, Level 12, State 0:
Server 'SAMPLE_RS':
Attempt to write all zeros to
partition'/<replication server name>/users/<username>/REP-15_0/samp_repserver/samp_partition/partition1'
failed. The offset (in bytes) being
written is '65536'. OS dependent
error is 'aio requested completed
with errno = 27
Whether you can add partitions larger than 2GB depends on the user resource limits defined in the operating system setting. On an AIX system, the user resource limits are defined in .../etc/security/limits. In the limits file, the fsize option reports file size soft limit and the fsize_hard option reports file size hard limit.
Workaround: Modify the user resource limits:
Viewing and modifying user resource limits
Run the ulimit -a command.
If the value of the file option is 2097151(blocks), the resource limit is 1GB (2097151 x 512 bytes). In this case, adding a partition larger than 2GB fails. Change the values of fsize and fsize_hard to -1(unlimit).
Run the #smit chuser command to choose current user.
Modify the “Soft FILE size” and “Hard FILE size” options.
