/tmp; INCREASE SIZE OF

Andrew Luis Arruza — Fri, 18 Aug 2000 13:49:15 GMT

I have been trying to increase the size of the /tmp directory.
It will not umount since it is always in use. When I do fuser on /tmp I see the active process but cannot use fuser -ku on these processes since at least one of them is my current process.
It would appear that I would have go to single user mode, which is not practical at this time on that particular server.
Any/all help, as always, is greatly appreciated.
Andy

fuser doesn't report lots of things. try lsof to see if it can help.

running 11.00 with vxfs files systems?
try this
lvextend -L ### /dev/vgxx/lvolx
then run
fsadm -F vxfs -b $((###*1024)) /tmp

### being the size you want
xx the vg and lvol of the tmp fs
good luck

Are you using a file in /tmp for your shell history?

Try 'print $HISTFILE' if you are using the korn/posix shell.

Actually, your process should not be one of the ones that gets picked up with fuser, unless that is your $PWD.
some of the processes cannot be killed and may need to shut them down with /sbin/init.d/xyzabc stop - one that comes to mind is the rpcd; for that you would have to /sbin/init.d/ncs stop.

After finding the PIDs, run a grep against a ps -ef for the pids to find out the actual processes.

Andrew,

You have to find time to go to single user mode. Must apps (eg oracle) make use of the filesystem regularly.
Use bdf to determine n value of lvol.
At [] prompt, do lvextend -L NNN /dev/vg00/lvoln
extendfs -F (filesystem) /dev/vg00/rlvoln
reboot

As Chris said, you have to do it in single user mode unless is vxfs and you have OnLine JFS.
Do a search in the forum key "increase" or "extend" key word for plenty of details.
