OS version:AIX 5.3

DB Version: 11g Rel1

I was trying to add a datafile to a tablespace. But i cannot add a file which is more than 2 gb. I am able to add as many as 2gb files. As you can see below, i've given UNLIMITED resources. But i still get 'File too large' error

$ ulimit -a
time(seconds)        unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
data(kbytes)         unlimited
stack(kbytes)        unlimited
memory(kbytes)       unlimited
coredump(blocks)     unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) unlimited




SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE qlmtbs_1
   2   ADD DATAFILE '/u02/oradata/qlmtbs_105.dbf' SIZE 4000M;
ALTER TABLESPACE qlmtbs_1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01119: error in creating database file '/u02/oradata/qlmtbs_105.dbf'
ORA-27044: unable to write the header block of file
