These are the suggestions:
Re-install Online-JFS. By toggling the options a bit it should be possible to
re-install an re-activate the license without needing to reboot.
There was mention of a line in /etc/inittab :
vxen::bootwait:/sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef -a
But I don't have this (vxenablef) on my systems so I don't really know
what to think of this.
Look at which 'fsadm' program is physically used. There are several on the system but this helped me no further.
There was a reference to a "vxlicense -c" command but I don't have this on my system. Neither does a license "enable" comamnd exist.
A reference to an ITRC file helped me a lot further.
SAM told me that the driver was 'OUT'.
( SAM => Kernel Config => Drivers => vxadv - Current State )
Setting it to 'IN' would result in creating a new kernel and reboot
which I haven't done yet.
So it appears that I do not have the extra cost Online JFS package installed properly and so cannot extend the filesystem with fsadm. I will have to (re-)install and reboot or unmount the filesystem, enlarge it with lvextend and then reorganize the filesystem with extendfs.
