DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC92253 Status: Closed

PAGE PREFETCH REQUEST MIGHT FAIL WITH ERROR EFBIG "FILE TOO
LARGE"

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
A page prefetch request might fail with operating system error 
EFBIG. 
The page requested by DB2 is wrong and does not exist in the 
tablespace. 
 
You will see an entry like the following in the db2diag.log 
file:

  Search for ossError*Analysis probe point after this log entry 
for further 
  self-diagnosis of this problem. 
 
'DATA #6' from the db2diag.log message indicates a file offset 
beyond 16TB. This exceeds the file size limit for the JFS2 
filesystem and is the reason why the operating system returns 
EFBIG when attempting to read from disk. 
 
The subsequent message logged by function ossErrorIOAnalysis 
will show the actual mount point at 'DATA #7'. 
Checking your table space containers located on that mountpoint 
(using 'ls -lR' or 'db2pd -db <DBNAME> -tablespaces' or similar 
commands) will show that none of your containers actually 
exceeds the size of 16TB.
