Re: File system in mode single user

Hi:

If you are trying to enlarge a vg00 filesystem and don't have Online JFS, then the /usr, /var, /opt and /tmp filesystems will be troublesome. The easist way to attack this is to boot up into single-user mode (hpux -is) and use the necessary commands in /sbin instead of those in /usr. When done with your LVM maintenace, you can simply boot again for a full, clean startup.

Regards!

Re: File system in mode single user

The FS that need to be actually mounted are '/' and '/stand'.
The others can be unmounted providing there are no associated processes running pertaining to them. If you attempting to increase one of the other filesytems /var, /opt or /usr, this will be a difficult task. You will most likely find that it would be easier to increase booting from single user mode.
If you have on-line JFS you can do this task.

/
and /stand

/stand because it contains the kernel. / because it is the root filesystem and has
the binaries and libraries .

As others suggested, if you want to get into real single user mode for doing a maintenance task, better reboot and get into single user mode using hpux -is from the ISL prompt

The on-line JFS I found with swlist.
Thanks again.
