increase fs /var
Question
I am not a hp admin but aix admin.
I am wondering if to increase the fs /var we really have to umount the fs so means stop the system ... just to do an extendlv ?
It is what I saw on man page of extendlv and that surprise me. On aix we can dynamically increase a fs and with version 5.3 can dynamically also reduce a fs. I would like to assume that on HP-UX we can also dynamically increase a fs... I hope so that I have to add some space to /var as it is a little full and the only files that I found big is belong to legato networker and don't know how to free space and nobodies no !
/var/nsr/index/hostname/db # ls -ltr
total 1033440

-rw------- 1 root root 32768 Feb 16 12:33 sr
-rw------- 1 root root 32768 Feb 16 12:33 sr_i0
Please if you can give me some help it will be cool.
Cheers.
Al.

NOTES
YP/NIS, NIS+ and LDAP users should be aware that it's possible to have conflict with users configured in here with the result that an error
will occur.
You should ensure that local user's home accounts are located on local filesystems - e.g. creating a new entry in /home when it's mounted
with automount will not work and as such the user may not be created.
