Hello Experts,
Just a quick one. When I did an installation of HP-UX 11i V2 on an rx7640 I specified the /tmp file system to be 5GB. Why? It would be comfortable during installation of other software when we have big files to transfer or unzip. Also, there is plenty of hard drive space.
Now when I run the 'bdf' command, I get the folling output:
/dev/vg00/lvol5 2097152 16816 2064224 1% /tmp
In SAM, under logical volumes, I can see that /tmp actually has 5GB:
lvol5 vg00 LVM VxFS 5008 1 /tmp
How does this work? Shoudn't I be able to see the whole size as the rest when I run bdf?
Kind Regards,
Rinaui

SolutionMaybe you managed to find a bug/limit in HP-UX installer...
If the problem is what it seems to be, it should be easy to fix.
First, use "lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol5" to confirm the LV size. It should say 5008 megabytes. (I'm a command-line guy, I don't even remember the structure of the SAM views by heart! :-)
If you have OnlineJFS installed, just run "fsadm -F vxfs -b 5008m /tmp" and you're done.
If OnlineJFS is not available, you'll have to unmount /tmp and run "extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/lvol5". You may have to reboot the system into single-user mode first: unmounting /tmp may be difficult otherwise.

Re: /tmp size
Ahsan, I had used a script to do the installation...which I actually hadn't written :(
Were it an advanced installation then I could have been able to answer that correctly. Thank you for you time.
Matti, I have succeeded after running the command you suggested. I appreciate your help a lot. Here is the bdf output now:
/dev/vg00/lvol5 5128192 16912 5071488 0% /tmp
Thanks and Regards,
Rianui

Re: /tmp size
# lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol5
Check the
LV Size (Mbytes)
>>> This should match with bdf output
NOTE: bdf will show in KB while lvdisplay displays size in MB
If its different, then you might have run lvextend, but forgot to run extendfs
lvextend extends the LV while extendfs extends the filesytem which you could see in bdf output
to run extendfs you need to boot the server into single user mode in case if OnlineJFS product is not installed
