It's according to the size you choose for number of bytes per inode (nbpi).
From the man on chfs (change file system):

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.doc/cmds/aixcmds1/chfs.htm

The maximum size of a JFS file system is a function of its fragment size and the nbpi value. These values yield the following size restrictions:

 NBPI  Minimum AG Size    Fragment Size        Maximum Size (GB)
  512         8        512, 1024, 2048, 4096            8
 1024         8        512, 1024, 2048, 4096          16
 2048         8        512, 1024, 2048, 4096          32
 4096         8        512, 1024, 2048, 4096          64
 8192         8        512, 1024, 2048, 4096        128
16384         8               1024, 2048, 4096        256

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the size of a filesystem in Aix?

Aix 5.1
UD 6.0.8

Thanks
