How can I increase root size to 9 gb? How do I know if it's possible?

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

HPUX uses seperate filesystems for /(root), /stand(kernel), /var, /usr, /opt and /tmp.

If you mirror filesystems you will need to mirror them to an other disk.

# vgdisplay -v vg00

why would you need to have /(root filesystem 9GB ?

[MarkSyder]

When you refer to increasing root to 9 Gb, I take it you mean the / filesystem.

If you really need to do this, you would need to restore from ignite, but I think most of us here would advise against it. Think carefully about what you want to put in that 9 Gb. You can almost certainly find a more appropriate filesystem for it.
