your ok Dave, both AIX and user filesystems can both be extended on the
fly.

Folks,

Here's another "thread" for increasing filesystem size

I want to increase the /var filesystem by 1PP or 32MB
The filesystem is mirrored

After a little more research and input received, I decided not to use
SMIT but to use the following instead

chfs -a size=+65368 /var (Increase /var by 32MB)

Will this suffice?

Also:

I have increased filesystem sizes in the past while the system was "live"

Was I just lucky that I never had any problems or should I schedule this
during our "maintenance window"?

BTW: Our maintenance window is 1AM -> 5AM Sunday

:0(

Thanks!

DaveZ
