Can not increase Filesystem /usr

[Schwerdtfeger]

Hi,

I tried to to increase Filesystem /usr - no success

Steps:

1. change to single-user-mode with 'init 1' -> ok

2. lvextend -L 1000 /dev/vg00/lvol7 -> ok

3. umount /dev/vg00/lvol7 -> ...Device busy

4. ps -ef | grep /usr -->

some processes from filesystem /usr are running:
/usr/.../monitor/RemoteMonitor
/usr/.../monitor/disk_em
/usr/.../monitor/dm_memory
...
...

Thanks for any help
Frank

Hi Frank:

Step-1 is the reason for the failure. Using 'init' to change run-levels will not truly bring you into the single user mode state you need where '/usr' can be unmounted.

*Boot-up* into single user-mode and repeat your process.

You have "reboot" your server in single user mode.

While rebooting press a key for 10 seconds elapsed time

and on ISL prompt type hpux -is
to boot in single user mode then carry on your lvm commands.

Boot _up_ to single user mode. Or run "killall" after your "init 1"... dirty, OK. :)

Best regards...
