Wrong subforum - there is an AIX forum in here!

Nevertheless:
Before increasing, you should check if you can clean it up and delete some trash files nobody needs anymore. If you can't do that for any reason, add 100 MB for each filesystem with following commands maybe:

Code:
chfs -a size=+100M /
chfs -a size=+100M /stand

If it's not working you might check with lsvg <vgname> (where your filesystems reside on), if there is enough space left in the VG to distribute.

If you are interessted to learn/understand LVM in AIX, check out following LVM Redbook maybe:

Are you sure you run AIX?
It doesn't look like that to me..

you can figure it out by something like uname -a
