I can't extend a hfs file system en HP-UX 11.23

[Marco V. Corrales]

I have a Itanium rx2600 with HP-UX 11i version 2, HP-UX 11.23, and I can´t extend a hfs file system with extendfs command

[Anupam Anshu_1]

I think you can do it by

# extendfs -F hfs -s

Or do you mean, extendfs doesn't work on IA64 11.23 boxes??

lvextend
umount
extendfs

Where hv u'r system failed ?

Yes Anshu, extendfs doesn't work in my IA64 11.23 box with hfs file system. With vxfs file system, I don't have problems.
Thanks,

I think there may be some problem with the kernel build.

Try a reboot :-) This may help you.

Hi Kaps,
The extendfs fail. It doesn't extend the file system if I use the extendfs command.
The lvextend execute well, but the extendfs doesn't.

[KapilRaj]

what is the error ?

Kaps

There is not error.
Simply, the extendfs doesn't extend the hfs file system.
After the execute of the extendfs command, I mount the file system and the size is the same. The lvol was extended whith the lvextend, but the extendfs doesn't extend the hfs file system.
Marco,

I just tried it on my 11.23 system and he is right it does not work. I tried the -s option and it still does not work. Sounds like a patch is needed. Good catch.

hi,

extendfs -F hfs /dev/vg02/rlvol8

use the raw device file...

mount -a
