increasing /home through SAM

[denise_7]

Can I increase /home through SAM, if I can verify that there are no users on the system. Is there a command to run to verify there are no users on the system before I increase /home? Previously I used to get error messages that users were on the system. Thanks.

Yes : Sam -> Disks & filesystems-> Logical volumes-> identify-highlight /home , goto actions -> increase size.

as to users on the system try the command who ?

If you have on-line JFS and the filesytem is vxfs you can do it online no matter what users on the box. You would use fsadm if you have on-line JFS.

If you don't have on-line JFS then you have to make sure nothing is accessing /home.

You can use fuser -u /home or fuser -c /home to see if anything is accessing home.

Then you can do a lvextend on logical volume and then extendfs on the filesystem.

Try to do this under single user mode, you won't encounter such a problem.

Hi Denise,

To check if someone is accessing the /home filesystem, try

fuser -cu /mount_point

to kill all processes using this mount point, try

fuser -ck /mount_point

Hope this helps.
