Increasing the FileSystem Size
Hi Everybody,
I have AIX 4.3 and I have a FileSystem with 400GB size, which called /db/run. Because of grow up of the application's data, more storage has been added 200GB. To add this space without affecting the application & the application's requirements, I have to add this 200GB to the existed FileSystem /db/run. Using SMITTY I tried to increase the Size of the FileSystem /db/run. In fact, the SMITTY take a 100GB only so that the size of the /db/run FileSystem reached 500GB. When I told the problem to some friends, one of them said to me This is because of the limitation of your FileSystem.
When I asked him about the solution of this problem, he suggest as follow:
  1. Backup the all data on that FileSystem.
  2. Delete the FileSystem.
  3. Create the FileSystem again but with PP Size that allow us to add whole 600G to it.
  4. Finally, restoring the data from the backup was taken before.

So if this solution is true? If it is, could any body confirm the steps of this solution, and explain it in more detailed. If the suggested solution above is WRONG, could anybody help me to find out the ideal solution, where the FileSystem size increases to reach 600GB, without LOSING any Data was stored on the FileSystem before.

vconsole.conf

VCONSOLE.CONF(5)						   vconsole.conf						  VCONSOLE.CONF(5)

NAME

       vconsole.conf - configuration file for the virtual console

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/vconsole.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/vconsole.conf file configures the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font.

       The basic file format of the vconsole.conf is a newline-separated list environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
       possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
       allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine.

       Note that the kernel command line options vconsole.keymap=, vconsole.keymap.toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font.map=,
       vconsole.font.unimap= may be used to override the console settings at boot.

       Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well, however only
       as fallback.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       KEYMAP=, KEYMAP_TOGGLE=
	   Configures the key mapping table of for they keyboard.  KEYMAP= defaults to us if not set. The KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to configured
	   a second toggle keymap and is by default unset.

       FONT=, FONT_MAP=, FONT_UNIMAP=
	   Configures the console font, the console map and the unicode font map.  FONT= defaults to latarcyrheb-sun16.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. German keyboard and console

       /etc/vconsole.conf:

	   KEYMAP=de-latin1
	   FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
