This is 11.0 box.
# lvextend -l 55 /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
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThis would appear to be HP-UX, not Linux.
The 'root' ('/') filesystem is mounted on 'lovol3'. There is very little reason to extend it, and essentially, only safe-way is to take an Ignite 'make_tape_recovery' image and reload it. When you do this, choose the "advanced installation mode". This way, yu can specify the sizes of the vg00 logical volumes to your taste.
"Contiguous" allocation means that the physical disk extents must occur in unbroken succession. This is a requirement for the root filesystem.
"Strict" allocation means that mirrored extents (when present) cannot occupy the same physical volume. Without this caveat, high-availabilty of a logical volume is meaningless.
Look for files in '/dev' that are not character or block device files. A very common contamination is to create a regular file when you mean to do a backup. Thus, you might find '/dev/rmt/om' [that's the letter "o" instead of the digit "0".
Also find where you have files that don't belong in root:
# du -x /|sort -k1nr
...should show you that '/etc' and '/sbin' are the principal directories that occupy space. Other things need your attention and need to be moved elsewhere.

Re: Unable to resize /
This is HP-UX.
The only way to make root bigger except under HP-UX 11.31 is to do an ignite backup, and restore the backup, intervening to set a larger root filesystem size during the restore.

I am able to resize other partitions with
online JFS on the fly.

Re: Unable to resize /

I am able to resize other partitions with
online JFS on the fly.
The problem is that the logical volume's new physical extents must be *contigous* to those of the old physical extents. Thus, you would have to move the extents of (most likely) 'lvol4' to create free space immediately adjacent to lvol3. Then, and only then, could you 'lvextend' lvol3 into the free extents; and then you could resize the filesystem contained within the logical volume.
As I noted, originally, Ignite is the standard. safest, easiest method by which to achieve a resizing of the root filesystem.

Buy the way, this procedure is not supported by Hewlett Packard.
Good luck,
