# fsadm -F vxfs -b 1048330M /ncs/celogs

vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg_celogs/rlv_celogs is currently 663889920 sectors - size will be increased

Did you run a re-org first? Generally a good idea and prevents errors like this.

Oops - just noticed you're increasing, not decreasing. Disregard.

according to symantec this can be either a fullness or fragmentation problem.

how up-to-date are you with your vxvm patches? (and heed what pete said)

Actually Donna's comment got me thinking about again and it could still help to run a re-org to unfragment things. Might be worth a try.

Hi:

Standard 'errno' 28 equates to "no space left on device". Check your specificartion of the new size. Are you sure you 'lvetend'ed your logical volume, first?

Regards!

1. lvextend

2. fsadm

lvextend -L 70000 /dev/MyVG/lvol1
* the syntax is: lvexten -L <new size in Mb> <lvol path> - Now, increase the filesystem:
fsadm -b 70000m /filesystem
* the syntax is: fsadm –b <new size in Mb> <mount point>

lvdisplay

Shalom,

You were working without a procedure?

lvextend -L <size in MB> <logical volume name> <disk to use>

Then your fsadm command.

You might want to check your license for Online JFS.

If your filesystem is completely full (o KB free), then the fsadm to extend it can fail. If possible, move a few files to another filesystem to your usage so you have some free space then try your fsadm command again.

did you check if you have enough free space(free physical extents) in the VG ?

vgdisplay -v vg_celogs

also check if you have any stale extents

vxfs fsadm: attempt to resize /dev/vg03/rlvol1 failed with errno 28

Solution : its because file system is 100% utilized & no free space available , ask file system owner to move some of the data to free some space to bring the utilization aleast 95% , then again run fsadm -b 51400M /u90 , it will succeed for sure. Thanks...
