I might add one additional caveat: In AIX 4.2 they started supporting Large File Systems (greater than 2 Gig). If your file is greater than 2 Gig, then your filesystem will need to be Large Enabled. AFAIK, there is no Conversion, you have to create a new jfs that is large file enabled. We have used them for years. As someone else pointed out, watch out for the standard Unix utilities that do not support files > 2G.
