Re: root partition to be increased

Probably the best would be to take an ignite backup and adjust the size during restore.

Hope this helps!

Re: root partition to be increased

hi,

there are some unofficial procedures how to do it, but the best way is to make an ignite and restore with new size as Torsten recommend.

Here is the unofficeial way beautifully described by James.

But still ignite option is good, you can go ahead and take ignite and then restore it.

Re: root partition to be increased

Root and boot cannot be extended so easily even in single user mode, because they have to be continuous. But normally both will grow so much during normal operating.
All others (tmp, usr, opt, ...) can be incresed in single user mode.

Hope this helps!

Re: root partition to be increased

Hi,

Though you have online JFS you can't extend root file system, to extend the same there is a long procedure to do the easiest one is take a Ignite backup and restore it in interactive mode and there you give the new size of root file system.
