missing free space after lvreduce

[Michael Duthie]

Going by your initial post you are Adv JFS installed so you can run.

#fsadm -F vxfs -b $((3500*1024)) /tmp

If you not running Adv JFS, you will need to unmount /tmp and run

# extendfs /dev/vg00/rlvol4.

Hope that helps

The lvdisplay shows /home has 3500MB allocated, but not in bdf. You might need to extendfs it to resolve the issue. You can also think about recreating the LV if found any problems. Also, do an fsck once you extend the file system.

In hopes of avoiding any further confusion (we've had enough of that over the past two days), it's /tmp, not /home.

Hi all,
Again a thousand thank you's!!! I had indeed extended /tmp without running extendfs. So I reduced the size of /tmp and created a new mount point for my new install. Phew!
What a hectic two days, I have learnt a lot so a big thanks :)
My next plan as soon as the dust settles is planning a complete rebuild of this system.
Thanks again to everyone, I couldnt have done it without you all :)

When the dust does settle, just ask and we'll review your re-org plan, too.

Good luck,
Pete

Bet your butt I will!
Cheers Pete, your a star :)

If we're betting butts, wouldn't that be a moon, not a star?


I had one last though while I was going through another question. It might help avoid confusion in the future if you got a copy of the "bdfmegs" script (that Bill Hassell always recommends) from:

ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/sysadmin/coolscripts/

Among other things, bdfmegs will give you a bdf display in MB so it's more readily comparable to vg/lv display output.

Just a thought!

Hi Pete :)
I got that script and it looks great and will be a great help, only problem is I am not sure how to use it? Do I just copy it onto my system and then call it?
Thanks :)

[Pete Randall]

Hi Babs,

What I did was put the script in /usr/local/bin/bdfmegs and then created an alias to it:
alias bdf="/usr/local/bin/bdfmegs"

Hope this helps,

Pete
