Re: how to extend root filesystem
Consider to take ignite backup and adjust the size during restore.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: how to extend root filesystem
Because of the requirement for /, swap and /stand to be contiguous, you cannot just lvextend and extendfs. That is why, as Torsten suggests, the easiest way to do this is to use Ignite to make a recovery archive either to tape or across the network. You can that boot from that archive and adjust your root file system sizes as required.

Because of the requirement for /, swap and /stand to be contiguous, you cannot just lvextend and increase the filesystem. It doesn't matter whether you have online jfs or not, it can't be done. Unless you shrink your swap space and expand root into the vacated space, which few people really wish to do.

Re: how to extend root filesystem
You could also move LVOL4 out of the way to expand root.
I've experimented, and successfully used the procedure on a couple of test systems.
Here's my procedure:

Re: how to extend root filesystem
Excellent point, Patrick. Personally I find it easier to just use Ignite - or better yet, plan better!

You make an excellent point as well, Pete.
Ignite is my preferred method as well. But, as you say, planning better at the beginning is the best option.
