FSADM

[vinay_26]

Hi,

I have HPUX 11I with Online JFS.

When trying to extend the file system it says the following error pls suggest.

# fsadm -b 3072000 /var
fsadm: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type
fsadm: /dev/vg00/rlv_var is currently 2867200 sectors - size will be increased
fsadm: attempt to resize /dev/vg00/rlv_var failed with errno 16

Hi,
in first step you need to extend lv by lvextend command:

lvextend -L size_in_MB /dev/vg00/lv_var
extendfs -F vxfs -b $((1024*size_in_MB)) /var

[vinay_26]

I have already done a Lvextend.

After that i tried to run fsadm.

Try to free up some space in /var before you run fsadm to extend. If the filesystem is near 100% full, fsadm will have a hard time extending it. You can also try to free up a small amount of space then extend it in smaller increments... once enough free space is there, run fsadm and extend to same size as lvol size.

hope this helps,

filesystem is 30% free

Please post a vgdisplay -v vg00

More then likely, you are trying to increase larger then the lvol size..

Command sshould have been something like:

lvextend -L 3072 /dev/vg00/lv_var
fsadm -b 3072M /var

can you post the latest failing fsadm command syntax and output from "bdf /var"

Hi:

Error 16 is EBUSY.

The Knowledge Base suggests that patch PHKL_33258 might result this issue. Since this patch requires a reboot, however, you might just as easily get around the problem by unmounting your filesystem and extending in in that state.

Regards!

Vinay,

I think your /var file system needs to fsck'd. Or the Fs i busy doing some work.
