Error description

  • When installing a fileset, no file within the fileset may
    exceed 2GB as it will fail due to sysck:
    
    installp: APPLYING software for:
          abc.rte 1.0.0.0
    
    Restoring files, please wait.
    sysck: 3001-022 The file /usr/bin/largefile
          was not found.
    sysck: 3001-017 Errors were detected validating the files
          for package abc.rte.
    
    The sysck man page indicates indicates that you should be
    able to set size and checksum values in the inventory file
    to VOLATILE to overcome this, but still does not appear to
    work.  Maybe at one time this worked, but it does not seem
    to work now.
