dd question

Hi guys,
I made a dd from a logical volume to a vxvm volume with this command:
dd if=/dev/vg00/rlvol_name of=/dev/vx/rdsk/rootdg/name bs=1024k

everything goes ok, but I'va a doubt:
The lvol was 8g, and new volume is 12g. after the dd I made an fsadm to grow its size, because dd made an 8g filesystem. I've to do something to avoid trouble on this new filesystem, or it's ok?

thanx.
S.

Re: dd question

If I got it right, you are copying 8G filesystem to 12G lvol and now you want to expand filesystem so it will take the whole lvol?

If so, no trouble. "fsadm" is there to do this job.

fsadm -b

That's it.
