Setting the maximum file size (UNIX)

Before you start the IBM® Content Search Services installation on a UNIX® platform, you must check the value of the fsize parameter that controls the maximum file size.

The IBM Content Search Services installation startup script checks the value of the fsize parameter. If the value is not set to unlimited, the startup script attempts to change it to unlimited. If the startup script cannot change the value to unlimited, a warning is generated.

To check the value of the fsize parameter and set it to unlimited if necessary:

  1. Run the following command to check the value of the fsize parameter:
    unlimit -f
  2. If the maximum size is not set to unlimited, open the /etc/security/limits file.
  3. Go to default:fsize = 2097151 and set it as follows:
    default:fsize = -1
  4. Save the file.
  5. Log out of the current session and log back in for the changes to take effect.
