Adjusting File System Size - HP 9000 Manual

Adjusting File System Size

If the required file-system size for the bundle you copy to a depot exceeds
that file system limit set by your disk installation, you will get an error
condition during the copy process. You can use lvextend and extendfs
in this situation to create a larger file system.
You might have a problem updating your system(s) if the /var volume is
too small.
If you try an update, swcopy will determine how much disk space is
required. If there isn't sufficient space, swcopy will report an error like
this:
ERROR: The used disk space on filesystem "/var" is estimated
to increase by 57977 Kbytes.
This operation will exceed the minimum free space for
this
volume.
avoid
installing beyond this threshold of available
user disk space.
In this example, you would need to increase the file system size of /var
by 10 MB, which actually needs to be rounded up to 12 MB.
The following are the steps required for increasing the size limit of /var:
1. Determine if any space is available by entering the following:
/sbin/vgdisplay
You should see a display like the following:
- Volume groups -
VG Name
VG Write Access
VG Status
Max LV
Cur LV
Open LV
Max PV
Cur PV
Act PV
Max PE per PV
VGDA
PE Size (Mbytes)
Total PE
Alloc PE
Free PE
Total PVG
The "Free PE" indicates the number of 4 MB extents available, in this
case this is 79 (equivalent to 316 MB).
