Hello everyone~~
I put root filesystem(/) in volume "rootvol"
#> vxprint -t rootvol
Disk group: rootdg
V NAME RVG KSTATE STATE LENGTH READPOL PREFPLEX UTYPE
v rootvol - ENABLED ACTIVE 204800 ROUND - root
Disk group "rootdg" still has 25G free space now.
Now my / is coming full, I want to extend volume first and then use fsadm to extend filesysetm:
#> /etc/vx/bin/vxresize -F vxfs -x rootvol 400M
vxvm:vxresize: ERROR: resizing volume other than FSGEN or RAID5 can result in loss of data. Use -f option to force resize this volume.
Now can I just execute "/etc/vx/bin/vxresize -F vxfs -xf rootvol 400M" ?
Will it cause any data loss?
I'm worried about data loss, because it is boot disk. If server cannot boot up, then.....:~
Is there any solution more SAFE and APPLICABLE?
Thanks for any help/suggestion.
(P.S. I have OnlineJFS and want to extend the filesystem online.)

Hi Livia,
No rootvol needs to be contiguous, you can only size this volume during the OS install or during an ignite make_tape/net_recovery restore.

Re: root volume extend with vxresize
Thanks :~~
I forgot this.....
root file system size can only change during installation.
So now I have to find another way to reduce the usage of my / filesystem.
