problem with resizing the file systems / LV

[bunty.....]

I need to extend the size of a file system,
i was trying these commands:
this is the error:

# lvextend -L 15000 /dev/vg01/opt_oracle
Warning: rounding up logical volume size to extent boundary at size "15008" MB.
Logical volume "/dev/vg01/opt_oracle" has been successfully extended.

Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg01 has been saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg01.conf

# fsadm -F vxfs -b 15000M /opt/oracle
vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg01/ropt_oracle is currently 524288 sectors - size will be increased
vxfs fsadm: attempt to resize /dev/vg01/opt_oracle failed with errno 28
vxfs fsadm: Retry the operation after freeing up some space

Please suggest what to do?

Hi,

# bdf | grep /opt/oracle
will probably give you 100 % full filesystem

Can you move a file inside the /opt/oracle filesystem (few mb)to a temp filesystem and try the fsadm command again ?

Shouldn't the fsadm command be

# fsadm -F vxfs -b 15368192 /opt/oracle

ie 15008 x 1024

Hi Bunty,

i think that in fsadm command
you have not to use

15000M

but the size in Kbytes.

Hi Bunty:

Recheck your calculations. Error #28 is "ENOSPC" which means "No Space left on the device.

# bdf | grep /opt/oracle
it is 100% utilized

Your fsadm command was wrong, do a bdf /opt/oracle and list out put here, the -b in the fsadm is the bytes size so it should differ from lvextend command,

for example:

lvextend -L 15000 /dev/vg01/opt_oracle

fsadm -F vxfs -b 15360000 /opt/oracle

Actually, the command is fine. Specifying the size in MB followed by an M or an m is fine. You should have used 15008M though since the LV size was rounded up to 15008 MB by the lvextend command.

Your real issue is that the device is 100% full. fsadm does not work well if there is no space left on the device. You will need to figure out some way to free up some space temporarily, by moving some files to another mount point or removing some files, run the fsadm command again, and then move the files back.

same problem with this command
:
# fsadm -F vxfs -b 15360000 /opt/oracle
vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg01/ropt_oracle is currently 524288 sectors - size will be increased
vxfs fsadm: attempt to resize /dev/vg01/ropt_oracle failed with errno 28
vxfs fsadm: Retry the operation after freeing up some space.

[Chris Bentley]

Does this work?

# fsadm -F vxfs -b 15368192 /opt/oracle

[Patrick Wallek]

YOu need to somehow free up some space on the device. fsadm does not work well when the device is completely full.

it's seems that Olympian are right
(as usual :-)
