Hi,

U can do also this way:-

# lvextend â L 1000 /dev/vgXX/lvXXX
# fsadm â F vxfs â b 1000m /
(1000MB is the new size of the logical volume in this case)

you may use command line to extend file system.First check if u have online JFS installed using swlist command.

lvextend -L
fsadm -b

one thing you may check free PE in
vgdisplay vgXX.

Hope this help.

Hi,

Without OnlineJFS U can do also below process:-

# lvextend -L 240 /dev/vgxx/lvxxx
(The new total size will be 240M)
# umount /xxx
(Note: If the filesystem is in use, it is impossible to unmount it. Therefore stop all the processes (applications) that use the filesystem then unmount it. Processes that use /usr and /var cannot be all stopped,
the only solution is to reboot in single user mode)
# extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vgxx/rlvxxx
# mount /dev/vgxx/lvxxx /xxx

Hope for the Best,
