Need to increase /dev/vg00/lvol3 space
Hi,
I am pretty new to Unix administration.
One of my machine shows "/" as 100% used. Below is the bdf output
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3 24510464 24510464 0 100% /
/dev/vg00/lvol1 1835008 198120 1624184 11% /stand
/dev/vg00/etest 5242880 274452 4658008 6% /opt/etest
/dev/vg00/arep 5242880 18941 4897520 0% /opt/etest/repository_archive
/dev/vg00/rep 5242880 696749 4262101 14% /opt/etest/repository
/dev/vg00/atropos 5242880 473504 4472528 10% /opt/atropos
/dev/vg00/lvol4 114688 5496 108344 5% /home
I tried extending the space by using lvextend
# lvextend -L 50000 /dev/vg00/lvol3
lvextend: Not enough free physical extents available.
Logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol3" could not be extended.
Failure possibly caused by contiguous allocation policy.
Failure possibly caused by strict allocation policy
I need help in understanding this and let me know how we can resolve this.

Re: Need to increase /dev/vg00/lvol3 space
lvol3 must be contiguous, so you cannot increase it on the fly. Consider to use ignite backup and increase while restoring.
But usually the admin created a new directory directly in root that consumes the space. You should simply not do this!
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
