Piyush's idea is pretty good, but for this you need online JFS.

My way is, if you don't have online JFS scenario.

Hello Ajit,
Its not usual that your / is getting 100%.
You should check what is the exact reason behind it.
Check size of /dev,/etc and if u have another system compare which directory is taking so much space.
u may check
lsof /(directory name)
/etc/lvmconf directory.

use du -sk *|sort -n in all directories which seems to have unusual amount of space.

BR,
Kapil

As Kapil has rightly said, you should be looking into why your / is increasing before you consider increasing it.

Check for ordinary files in /dev: a mistyped tape drive name can lead to a very large text file.

Do you have any applications which are writing to / that would be better writing to a dedicated filesystem?
