increasing file system size
Hi
Can anyone explain me how to increase the filesystem size. We can do it when the system is running? It needs an reboot?

Roger,

What sort of a Filesystem is it?Let us know the details.
If it's a Soft partition created from a mirror(SVM),it can be extended using growfs.
