Error -- Extending FS w/ online JFS

[Joe Profaizer]

What's the below mean? Trying to extend it up to 10GB. This is the first time I've run into it. I have extended the vg and lv correctly.

fsadm -F vxfs -b 1048576 /orasys
fsadm: cannot shrink /dev/vg00/rlvol9 - upgraded fs - inodes are currently in u
se.

Hi Joe:

You say "extended", but it appears that you have miscalculated and are actually SHRINKING the filesystem size. Make sure that your computation of blocks was times 1024, not times 1000.

What is the current size of the lvol (lvdisplay /dev/vg00/rlvol9). It looks like you're actualy trying to shrink the filesystem (1048576 translates into 1024m, i.e. 1GB).

Also, as a side note, you would specify the size in MB for fsadm, i.e. fsadm -F vxfs -b 10240M /orasys.

hi,

fsadm -F vxfs -b 1048576 /orasys

this requires the NEW TOTAL size of the file system, not the size you want to add.
(or you simply missed one digit)

regards,
Thierry.

Joe,

Your

fsadm -F vxfs -b 1048576 /orasys

should read:

fsadm -F vxfs -b 10485760 /orasys
