Enlarge File System - error

[Daniel Aquere de Olivei]

Hi,

I need enlarge my File System.

I am using this commands:
fsadm -d -e -D -E /var - OK
fsadm -V -b 32457280 /var - NOK

When execute the command "fsadm -b 32457280 /var", appers this message:
"fsadm: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type
vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg00/rlvol8 is currently 31457280 sectors - size will be increased
vxfs fsadm: write failure at block 4581446 : No such device or address"

Any tip.

Thanks.

Daniel

Did you use lvextend to extend the underlying logical volume first? Judging by the error, I would say not or, if you did, you didn't calculate properly for the -b argument.

[Geoff Wild]

For ease of admin, do it in MB:

lvextend -L 32768 /dev/vg00/lvol8 (or whatever your /var is)

fsadm -b 32768M /var


That said - looks like you may have a disk issue? write failure at block

After further looking - your disk is fine - you must have forgot the lvextend - or it is smaller then your fsadm command....

Again, stick with MB.....

Do a vgdisplay -v /dev/vg00 - what is size of the lvol for /var?

Hi Daniel,
I suggest following steps to increase file system: Example
1>Log in as root
2>Find out if any space is available:
# /sbin/vgdisplay
3> Check to see where E.g /usr is mounted (/dev/vg00/lvol7 by default):
# /sbin/mount
4> Extend the logical volume:

# /sbin/lvextend -L new_size /dev/vg00/lvol7

For example,
#/sbin/lvextend -L 332 /dev/vg00/lvol7
increases the size of this volume to 332 MB.
5>Unmount /usr:
# /sbin/umount /usr
This is required for the next step, since extendfs/fsadm can only work on unmounted volumes.
6>Extend the file system size to the logical volume size; for example:
/usr/sbin/fsadm [-F vxfs] [-V] [-b newsize] [-r rawdev] mount_point
Check following link for more information:
http://docs.hp.com/en/B9106-90008/fsadm_vxfs.1M.html
7>Remount /usr:
# /sbin/mount /usr



thanks & Regards

Hi everyone,

Sorry, I am failing...

I have this situation:

I need to increase my /var. I could use bytes of /OV?

How?

Thanks
