vxvm:vxresize: ERROR: Problem running fsadm command for volume admin, in diskgroup rootdg

Thought:
I have tried to extend another filesystem and that worked fine.
I have tried to extend the filesystem with just 1MB and it still fails with the same error.

Hi,
I dont really know vxvm, but the error is similar to one sometimes received with lvm. Is the filesystem that you're trying to extend at 100% capacity? If so, you need to free up a small amount of space to enable the extend to complete.

It is at 63% as seen above.

Hi,

Could you please let me know which version of Veritas Volume Manager you are using/

[Isralyn Manalac_1]

errno 28 is no space left on the device :-)

Hi,

You can get more information from /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log while attempting to resize the volume, which will be useful in troubleshooting. Also, check if the root filesystem is full.

RDL.

The sollutions is really special, some would think that this is MS and not HPUX.

Just for the sport of it i did a fsadm -d (defrag) and after the resize worked.
