filesystem

[Mark Huff II]

I have increased my LV using lvextend to 1.2TB.
And it seems as though bdf nor SAM's filesystem section are registering the new size of the LV...SAM(Logical Volume Section) as well as lvdisplay show the correct size.

???? Please advise ????

you also have to extend the filesystem by the extendfs program. use man extendfs.

if you haven't online jfs umount the lvol

# umount /
and extend the file system. lvextend only extends the lvols
#extendfs /dev/vgxx/lvolyy

if you have online jfs you can do without umount

# fsadm -b /

This is the only LV on the filesystem. Should I still run "extendfs /dev/vg_xp_img_data/lv_xp_imageData"
even though it is already apart of this filesystem?

You have only extend3d the logical volume on which the filesystem resides. As bdf only shows the filesystem usage, nothing is changed.
You will have to extend the filesystem too. If you have AdvVxfs this is done with fsadm on the mount point. If you don't hav advVxfs you will have to umount the filesystem and use extendfs.

Hi:

You expanded the logical volume but not the filesystem that resides "within". You need to either do an 'extendfs' or a 'fsadm' to enlarge the filesystem.

If you have Online JFS, use 'fsadm' to increase the filesystem size. If you do not have Online JFS (or the filesystem is an HFS one) you must unmount it first, and use 'extendfs' to enlarge it.

These actions can be done through SAM or at the command line.

Hi Mark,
You can only have one filesystem on a logical volume.

Thanks guys!!!

I have always been use to SAM taking care of all these other issues..:)
