I checked my ulimit is unlimited and i also checked /etc/security/limits file
Nonetheless, please provide the output of ulimit -a from the account you are trying to do start the mksysb with.
Also please show the output of oslevel -s , thanks.
Ok, there is the culprit. The problem is, that JFS does not support files larger than 2GB. The message from mksysb is confusing.
You should recreate the filesystem as JFS2. JFS is out of date and has lots of limitations. Your OS version is far above the use of JFS.
There is an option when creating a FS "Large File Enabled" or something similar, but iirc, there is no conversion possible.
I would recreate the FS as JFS2 and always and only use JFS2 in the future. Don't use JFS anymore.
I will do the changement and let u know about the result

I delete my previous fileystem and create a new one for the mksysb with jfs2 type.
But i have still the same problem :
