230-No directory! Logging in with home=/

[Grayh]

when I ftp i get this error
230-No directory! Logging in with home=/
230 User oracle logged in.

Looks like I didn't add home directory... Could you give me the command to add the home directory to the user oracle...

user oracle already exists on the system

Hi,

Edit /etc/password file and enter the home directory for oracle user. Make sure home directory is created already.

You can use usermod -d command as well to add the new home directory.

I have the following in my passwd file
oracle:dvNU8uqtCcup2:106:103::/home/oracle:/sbin/sh

looks like home directory exists...

could you give me the exact path when I have to edit please

[Ganesan R]

Hi Grayh,

Looks home dir entry is there in passwd file. No need to modify.

Could you verify this directory exist on filesystem?

Are you able to telnet as oracle user?In which directory you are in when you login?

[Grayh]

Hi Ganesan

Sorry.. I could not understand you..

I am able to telnet as a oracle user

$ pwd
/
$

Is there anything I should Do

/dev/vg01/oracle 81920 1133 75745 1% /data --------> This is the mount point

Your passwd entry says

/home/oracle

is the home dir - so you need to have

/home/oracle

or modify the passwd line to something else (existing directory and owned by oracle user).

Hi Grayh,

See the pwd after you logged in. You are placed into / directory not the /home/oracle as specified in passwd file. It means /home/oracle directory not exist on the server.

Which path you want to set as home directory for oracle user? currently it is set to /home/oracle. If you want to use this as home directory for oracle user create it.

#mkdir /home/oracle
#chown oracle: /home/oracle

Now it should work.

I want it to have 80Gb ... how can I extend it

If you want to have 80gig, why you try to extend to 167gig?

see

man lvextend

[Grayh]

Ok... Just to extend to 10 Gig... what is the command plz...

[Grayh]

# lvextend -l 500 /dev/vg01/oracle
Logical volume "/dev/vg01/oracle" has been successfully extended.
Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg01 has been saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg01.con
f

# lvextend -L 400 /dev/vg01/oracle
lvextend: "LogicalExtentsNumber" is not bigger than current setting.

[Torsten.]

I think the messages are self-explanatory.

post "vgdisplay -v vg01"

and read the man page!

Hi,
Please use ...
#SAM to easy use of extend size of your FS.

This will make actual impact after reboot your Server.

#lvextend -L +[additional-size] [PV-name]
