Can I extend file system on-line

[Steven Chen_1]

Can someone verify which of the following is correct?

extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/lvol4

or

extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvol4

From man, I see example for hfs as:
"extendfs -F hfs /dev/vg00/rlvol4"

I need vxfs extended. So what do I use, lvol4 or rlvol4?

[Antoanetta Naghiu]

lvextend is using block decive (/dev/vg00/lvol4)
and extendfs uses raw device /dev/vg00/rlvol4).
For vxfs you can use as well fsadmin (see the posts that I told you in the previous posts)

You had all under your eyes, the commands that work plus Antoanettas links to docs, last thing since I dont need to add -F in the command because my default is vxfs, if that is what you wish, check that
/etc/default/fs (perm r-r-r bin:bin) exists and contain:
LOCAL=vxfs
