Disk full: increasing a volume (NO LVM)

[PatRoy]

svo: Definitely!! That's how I always do them! Not to look better or to blame anyone, but I've only been working in the place for 2 months...

Turns out there was a power glitch last night which screwed up the MSA a bit, in turn messing up my luns! (thus the reason I had I/O Errors!). Rebooting fixed that and I can now at least access the volume to clean it up! Funny though how the DBAs just won't tell me WTF they were doing to fill up the volume like that!

I'll need to reschedule down time to change to A) convert to a LV and B) use VxFS!


Thanks all.

hi PatRoy,

at first you should tell the DBAs, you don't have any free space, so they should optimize their DB. If you don't have some rules about storage allocation they will fill all awailable space.
