Re: File system space increase

You need to have OnlineJFS installed on your server to make it while system is in operation.

Re: File system space increase

If you have onlineJFS, then you can do it on-line, else, you will have to unmount the file system and carry out following steps.

lvextend /dev/vgxx/lvolx
extendfs /dev/vgxx/lvolx
mount it.

Re: File system space increase

The first step is to increase the lv with lvextend. Next, you need to enlarge the file system within the LV. If you have Online JFS installed, this can be done online with fsadm. If you do not have Online JFS, you have to unmount the file system and extend it with extendfs.

Check the man pages for lvextend (see the EXAMPLES section), fsadm-vxfs, and extendfs.

Re: File system space increase

see lvextend man page for examples. It is having one clear example.

If you've online JFS then,

1) lvextend
2) fsadm

that is enough.
