It appears that you're moving lvol4 (/tmp) to another disk to create room to expand lvol3 (/). The first thing I notice is that you have omitted the lvextend step. Other than that, it should work. Is /dev/dsk/c2t2d0 already part of vg00?

Hello,

do you have OnLineJFS installed on your server?

Stf ;-)

[Fred Ruffet]

You got answers on "how". Let me ask you "why" do you want to expand /. There are really only few things needing to expand this FS (not to say none).

Regards,

Fred

Another way to do this is with a make_tape_recovery tape - allows you to resize volumes prior to loading.
