Cannot extend Veritas Filesystem mount point

Jeff Petrik — Thu, 17 May 2007 12:11:42 GMT

We are attempting to extend a Veritas filesystem mount point and we receive an error from Veritas stating the extend failed. We thought it was because out BDF indicated the mount point was at 100%, however, we still have (2) gb of space left: here is a bdf snapshot of our mount point:

/dev/vx/dsk/dgdb220pr1101/lvdb22001
492830720 490331367 2343174 100% /u220/orad/pr11

is Veritas detecting that our file system is full because of the 100% %used and not allowing us to extend the fs for this reason or is there something elase we're missing?
Thanks, Jeff Petrik/USG Corp, Chicago IL.

What command are you running?

vxresize -F vxfs -g dgdb220pr1101 homevol lvdb22001 NEWSIZE?

If that fails, then I believe you have no more extents left in the volume and you may have to add more disk...

We are actually using the Veritas VES tool for the extend and the error is 'Extend Failed' here is the maxsize output, looks like we have the space avaialble:
lxprdb01:root# vxassist -g dgdb220pr1101 maxsize
Maximum volume size: 16055296 (15679Mb)
lxprdb01:root#
Thanks for your help..... Jeff

Might be a bad disk if the tool is unable read the extents that are free. Check with a readonly dd(1) or look for errors in the syslog file.
