Problem on extending the LV(JFS)

[Harinath N]

Hi,

In our HP9000 system running HP-UX 10.20, we extended one of our file system size to 132GB(didn't think about the 128GB barrier).

Once after that, we were not able to mount that particular lv. Tried doing "fsck", but still the problem persists.

Could this problem resolved without reducing or recreating the lv?

Thanks and Regards,
N.Harinath.

There's no patches to increase the size, so either you reduce it or recreate it (or upgrade to 11i?).

The best thing you can do now is the following:

1) lvremove /dev/vg##/lvol# - remove existing lvol.

2) lvcreate -L 128000 /dev/vg##/lvol# - create new lvol, add whatever else you need here but do not exceed 128000 for size.

3) make new filesystem, run fsck on it, then mount it.

Good luck.

Happy holidays.
