Increasing the size of the root file system
It was brought to my attention when the utilistion jumped from 73% to 91% in the last 24 hours.
Although it's not likely to increase again for some time, I thought I might increase the size of the root file system (until I can sort out moving the data into a different file system).
As this machine is a mission critical 24/7 machine, what I wanted to know was can I do this on the fly using OnlineJFS (the fstype is VxFS)?
Thanks,
Gary

Re: Increasing the size of the root file system
Unfortunately, I won't have chance to tweak the application on this machine until the next shutdown, which may be in 6 weeks time or later. This is why I was looking for a quick fix.
Thanks,
Gary

Re: Increasing the size of the root file system
It is not recommended to keep your data on root file system. Create a new lvol and mount the lvol to same directory used by your application after copying the whole data.
if you want to increase the root file system, please refer the following thread.

Re: Increasing the size of the root file system
be it increasing the / (root) file system or re-locate the current application to another file system, it will still require a shutdown.
as the rest have suggested, apps or database should never be located in the vg00 (boot) and definitely not the / file system. recommended to create new volume group with the new file system to contain the apps and db.
regards.

Re: Increasing the size of the root file system
You confirmed my suspicions that whichever way I go, I would need to shut the machine down.
I'll wait until the shutdown and look into moving the application data at that time.
Cheers,
Gary
