I had this error when trying to put dump files larger than 2 Gig on a non-BigFile supporting OS (RedHat 7.0). I had chunk size set correctly but forgot about what would happen when I used the file: device to write the coalesced dump files to disk tapes.
Got a modern kernel and the problem went away.
