Re: Resizing a Filesystem under veritas ...

Thanks all specially brown, seminole for the fast responses.
Special thanks to topher for the full listing of the commands

I tried with vxassist ...but it didnt work for me.
Then I tried the vxresize with +2g option. But strangly enough, the filesystem
was resized to 4.5 GB
Any comments on the following issues :

1. vxassist didnt work. ( Do we have to run it on an unmounted FS ?). It ran
and just came out with no mesages and
neither increasing the size.
2. vxresize with +2g option increased the size by 4GB ?

Thanks ,
Ramesh

==========================================

if the file system is 'vxfs' you can do it with no problems -- you can
even do it online (without unmounting the file system)
/etc/vx/bin/vxresize -g <disk group> <volume> <new size>
[alloc=<specific disk if needed>]

<new size> can be replaced by anything like:
5G (new filesystem is 5G)
10G (new filesystem is 10G)
or
+10G (new file system is 10Gig bigger)
you can find the amount of space left in the disk group with:
/usr/sbin/vxassist -g <disk group> maxsize
