fsadm error 251 - any ideas?

[RAKESH_12]

Hi,
I have been trying to extend a filesystem using fsadm on HPUX 10.20 - but im getting the following error :

# fsadm -F vxfs -b 252M /var
fsadm: /dev/vg00/rlvol8 is currently 225280 sectors - size will be increased
fsadm: attempt to resize /dev/vg00/rlvol8 failed with errno 251
#

I am unable to unmount the filesystem as it is /var.

I also get the same error when in single user mode.

I would appreciate your help with this error.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Error 251 seems to be "Function not implemented ".

Did you try the comand :
# fsadm -F vxfs -b 258048 /var.

Did you first extend the lv ?
# lvextend -L 252 /dev/vg08/lvol8

Hi

grep 251 /usr/include/sys/errno.h

#define ENOSYS 251 /* Function not implemented */

You are probably missing a driver or part of the Advanced Journal FIlesystem

Check it with swlist to see that it is configured and the version matches.

Check for


/usr/lbin/sysadm/get_sysfile /stand/vmunix |grep vx
vxadv

vxbase
If either is missing then remake kernel with driver in

Hi RAKESH,

little checklist to trace the problem:

- The lvextend command before worked ?
- Does fsadm -F vxfs -b $((252 * 1024)) /var work ?

Hi

Did U use lvextend command before?

Follow this

I hope U have online JFS installed in ur BOX.. If not online alteration will not do

#lvextend -L /dev/vgxx/lvolx

#fsadm -F vxfs -b m /var

Any error? If still problem, Go to single user mode and use extendfs command to extend filesystem.

Thanks

Hi there,
If the file system is at 100% fsadm will not work. You have to get it down to 99 or 98%. This might be your problem.

Hi:

Either you do not have OnlineJFS or it is not installed properly.

On 10.20:

# swlist|grep -i OnlineJFS

...should return:

B3928AA_APZ B.10.20 HP OnLineJFS (Advanced VxFS)

...and:

# grep -i vxadv /stand/system

...should return:

vxadv

...and:

# swlist -a state fileset AdvJournalFS

...should show all filesets "configured".

Regards!

Hi,

Do you have OnlineJFS installed.
