Converting Blocks to megabytes and gigabytes.
Sorry for the simple question.
I am new to Unix and Unix AIX.
I increased a file system the other day but cheated and used a conversion calculator.
Could you good people tell me the best way to increase a file system that is in 512 byte blocks.
Say the file system is 100mb and I wanted to increase to 200mb how would I work this out?
Thanks for your help
