You will see the error message above if you’re trying to create a tar file with very large size. This is caused by limitation set uo on AIX to prevent user to create large files. To set no size limitation on creating files, edit the /etc/security/limits, go to the “default” section, and change it to “-1″. Here is how mine lookslike :

default:
        fsize = -1
        core = 2097151
        cpu = -1
        data = 262144
        rss = 65536
        stack = 65536
        nofiles = 2000

Save, and try to start the tar process again.
