Hi,
I have a problem with growfs in Solaris 6 sparc. Where we
once had a software mirrored pair of 4 striped drives giving us 8 GB,
we now have a mirrored pair of 33GB drives. I want to use:
'growfs -M /d /dev/md/rdsk/d6'
to grow the file system.
In my prior experience with 'growfs', I needed to restart the
system so that nothing had locks on the mounted meta device.
Today I tried 'growfs' while in single user mode following a reboot,
and it did not grow the file system. In prior experience with the
growfs command, it seems that if the last inode is
printed with a comma following it, then it has
not worked. 'df' confirms that it has not grown the FS.
I prior experience, I would try 'umount' of the device,
'mount' it again and then 'growfs'. The problem is that
'umount' reports the device is busy and will not un-mount.
Both before and after the reboot, I had tried 'growfs'
while 'lsof' was clear of anything to report on /d
Likewise 'fuser' was clean. I would do 'umount -f'
but this version of Solaris didn't support it.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can find what is
making the mount seem busy, or otherwise how I can
grow my file system short of making a new one and
copying everything over?
