Table 2 lists the maximum file and file system sizes that the Journaled File System (JFS)
supports. JFS is also known as the VERITAS File System (VxFS).
Note: Although it may be possible to create files or file systems larger than these documented limits,
HP does not support such files and file systems, and the results of using them may be unpredictable.
