ERROR IN EXTENDFS

Miguel Carabano_1 — Tue, 25 Jan 2005 16:24:32 GMT

Hi,
After of executed:

#extendfs /dev/vga_03/rinformes
extendfs: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type
vxfs extendfs: file system is already at maximum device capacity.

because east message is generated?

Thanks

Miguel

First, you should always use extendfs -F vxfs or extendfs -F hfs to identify the filesystem type but your problem is that you need to extend the logical volume before extending the filesystem. Man lvextend for details.

Hi,

the above message cleary says that the total size of LV is been used to construct the file system, user bdf | grep /dev/vga_03/informes and check the size
then use lvdisplay -v /dev/vga_03/informes | more to check the size. both must be same.
use
lvextend -L /dev/vga_03/informes to increase the size of LV verify with lvdisplay, umount the file system and then run extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vga_03/rinformes.

I hope this solves the problem

Cheers
