fsadmin

Hi johnson,

===> step 1 :-

fsadm -F vxfs -b M


There is a correction. Running this command he will loose his data..

"-b" size in KB. We should always take are while running this command

Hi,

I told loosing data even in case if he is running this command to increase the size of the filesystem

Becaue if we increasing a filesystem to 2GB thinking -b in MB , the file system will reduce to 2 MB :)


lvextend uses -L with size in MB.

Hello,

As stated above you can use fsadm and lvmreduce commands to achive this. But as stated make sure patch level is current and you bcakup the filesystem just incase you run into some problems.

I usually go this way:

1) reduce the filesystem a little bit smaller as it should be. e.g.: I reduce it to 99Gbyte instead of 100Gbyte.

2) Reduce the LV to 100Gbyte

3) grow back the FS to 100Gbyte.


I know it's lame, but I like to be always sure that I will have no data loss. If you prefer, go this way.
