JFS2 size limits
Extremely large JFS2 file systems that contain very large files are more practical to maintain than those that contain a large number of small files. When a large file system contains many small files, the fsck command and other file system maintenance tasks take a long time to run.
The size limitations of the JFS2 file and file system depend on the value of the
lff filesystem attribute:
| Item | lff=yes | lff=no |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum size of a JFS2 file system: | 4 PB | 32 TB |
| Maximum size of a JFS2 file: | 4 PB | 16 TB |
| Minimum size of a JFS2 file system: | 16 MB | 16 MB |
