increase disk space

[kacou]

Hi

ONLINEJFS is not installed. i try to make " lvextend" command, and the result is ok. but when i umount filesystem, i have the error message below:
umount: cannot find /usr in /etc/mmttab
cannot umount /usr

------------------------------------
plesae help me!!

[F Verschuren]

This can work:
create a new mntab by:
# mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.old
# mountall

umount /usr

if this does not work please post:
bdf |grep usr
and the /etc/mnttab

[kacou]

In single user mode? or multi user mode?

[F Verschuren]

the move you can do in single and multy user mode, if the umount gives the same error in multy user mode the problem is not fixed, proerly you will get the error that there are proceses running here (like ksh)
so whitout single user mode, you can not do the umount....

Hi,

please post contents of /etc/mnttab.

Anyway, whether you have /usr mounted, I doubt you could umount it at run level 3. That is the great matter that OnlineJFS has.

Boot in single user mode and issue

extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/lvol7

Then try to mount all filesystems by

mount -a

and finally

init 3

HTH.

Best regards,
Fabio

Are you already in single user mode?

/usr may be not mounted yet - check with "mount" and proceed.

[Tim Nelson]

Must be in single user mode to unmount /usr.

If you booted to single user mode then /usr will not be mounted only /, that is what single-user mode is about.

execute your extendfs then reboot or init3

Hi kacou

Best is to boot system in single user mode and extend it.

[kacou]

it is what i did, but it dosoen't work!!!


I still need some assistance please

[Fabio Ettore]

Hi,

so you have /usr in /etc/mnttab.
So you have to bring the system in single user mode (even though you wrote you already did that, I think things didn't work well).

- go in single user mode;
- extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvol7
- init 3

This is the only action that will extend your filesystem (as written, unfortunately you don't have OnlineJFS).

If you have still problems please post us the output of the actions, log all into a file and attach that here.

Good luck...

Best regards,
Fabio

[kacou]

it is what i did!! but i have the onleJFS cdrom. it need a licence to install it?

[Fabio Ettore]

kacou, I understood you did that, but (again) something went wrong!
That suggested is the only way to extend the filesystem without OnlineJFS (Yes, it needs a license under payment).

So please post the steps done and we could help you more. But even though you insist with "I did that!" I'll ask again to do steps again because that is the only way to extend filesystem /usr.

Best regards,
Fabio

Hi,

The old size of /usr is 3968 MB (4063232/1024)

>/dev/vg00/lvol7 4063232 3900176 161976 96% /usr

and you have extended it to 40960MB (you added another 36GB - is it true? I think something went wrong here) Can you check the exact lvextend command you used. You are also using mirror on /usr with strict allocation policy.

># lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol7
>LV Size (Mbytes) 40960
>Mirror copies 1

>ioerror=mwdisable (in /etc/fstab)
If you are sure, everything went as planned, then either do a fsck on the lvol7 after unmounting it then try to mount it.

Otherwise, just remove the (ioerror=mwdisable) from the fstab and try mounting. Just post the results.

[Rasheed Tamton]

Also, post the lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lovl7 (with the -v option)
and
vgdisplay -v vg00
as attachment.

rgds.

[Fabio Ettore]

Hi kacou,

it would nice to see the end of the story.
Did you go in single-user mode to extend /usr filesystem?

Best regards,
Fabio

[Torsten.]

A happy end with points for all would be nice!

;-)

[Sp4admin]

As stated above. you will need to boot into single user mode. the do an extendfs /dev/vg00/lvol7. You can't umount the file system /usr.
