extending filesystem error

A. Kay — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 22:37:26 GMT

I am trying to extend my filesystem and do have enough space from the output of vgdisplay
--- Volume groups ---
VG Name /dev/vg00
VG Write Access read/write
VG Status available
Max LV 255
Cur LV 14
Open LV 14
Max PV 16
Cur PV 4
Act PV 4
Max PE per PV 4350
VGDA 8
PE Size (Mbytes) 8
Total PE 17360
Alloc PE 7329
Free PE 10031
Total PVG 0
Total Spare PVs 0
Total Spare PVs in use 0

however if i try to extend the lv using lvextend I get this error

root@appqimux#lvextend -L 10000 /dev/vg00/hold
lvextend: Not enough free physical extents available.
Logical volume "/dev/vg00/hold" could not be extended.
Failure possibly caused by contiguous allocation policy.
Failure possibly caused by strict allocation policy

Any work around this contiguous issues?

thanks

You also want to display the lv attributes with lvdisplay [ -v ]

Anyway...

Try: lvchange -C n

See it's manpage for details.

hth,
Hein.

Thanks lvchange -C n allowed me to extend it however I got this message which I don't know if it will cause any problem once I unmount and remount my filesystem. My guess is that it shouldn't as I will not be booting from this second disk.

lvlnboot: LIF information corrupt or not present on "/dev/dsk/c2t1d0".
Use the "mkboot" command to initialize the LIF area.
