Ulimit not working?

Asked by dsstao in IBM AIX Unix

Hi all,

Check out the following:

# ls -l
total 8388800
-rw-rw-rw-   1 dave staff    2147483647 Oct 04 14:02 1
-rw-r--r--   1 dave   staff    2147483647 Oct 10 10:08 davetest

drwxrwxrwx   2 root     system        13824 Oct 10 10:14 dumpload
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root     system        75506 Sep 25 14:49 tableinfo.txt
# cat 1 >> davetest
cat: 0652-054 Cannot write to output.
A file cannot be larger than the value set by ulimit.
# ulimit -f
unlimited

The FS is for sure enabled with large file support, checked and double checked.  I'm running as root on AIX 5.1.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
