Re: Alter capacity

Hi Charles,

Are you talking about filesystem of 2GB. I've never heard of apps that don't get installed on systems with hard disk more than 2GB. df -k output results in the size of filesystems and their current utilization. Maybe what you are trying to say that you need filesystems of 2GB or less.

Hope this helps.

Re: Alter capacity

Not quite. For example, we could only get a 9 GB disk to install one of these special systems on. Being too large, we ran the utility on it and made it a 2 GB drive by altering block count and/or number of bytes per bock. We use a compiled program and do not have access to the source code, but the routine DOES work. We have a copy (clone) machine that we use from time to time. This copy machine ├в sees├в all available space on a disk. The space the copy machine sees on a 9 GB drive at full capacity is proportionately more than when it is cut to 2 GB. If we want to use the drive for something that requires 9 GB, the utility will return it to full capacity. Volume groups and other disk space descriptors are NOT considered with this utility. Any files on the disk will be lost when this utility i

Re: Alter capacity

Hi,

How about creating a 2GB logical volume and let the app use the raw device for the lv rather than the reference to a physical disk.

instead of /dev/rdsk/cxtydz

use /dev/vgxx/rlvoly

here lvoly is a 2GB lv.

Hope this helps.
