fsadm

Ana Lizcano — Thu, 10 Jan 2002 10:31:54 GMT

I want a filesystem with the option largefiles. For this reason, I have unmounted the filesystem /dev/vg00/lvol10.
With the command fstyp -v I can see that this filesystem is vxfs for this reason I have executed the command:
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg00/lvol10

But to execute this command said:
"vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg00/lvol10 is not the root inode of a vxfs file sytem"
What's the problem??
The machine is HP-UX 11. (This option in machines with 10.20 was ok).
Thanks........

Use the character device, rlvol10.

A man on fsadm will show instructions for HFS. Try "man fsadm_vxfs". The synopsis shows to use the mount point not the lv. Also, with vxfs you should be able to change this parameter on-line. (no need to unmount.)

Good Luck,

Stefan is correct . . .
The command would go.
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg00/rlvol10
Give or take the '-F' option. This is bacause fsadm will read your fstab file to figure it out on its own.
