Operating Systems AIX disk space shortage, how to migrate to LVM? Post 302302201 by zaxxon on Monday 30th of March 2009 10:22:35 AM

Afaik you always have LVM under AIX. You can easy enlarge the FS/LV with it online. It will grab space from unused PP from your VG.

Example:
Code:
chfs -a size=+100M /home        # adds 100 MB of space to the FS/LV

Mounting mountpoints into other mountpoints is not a good style. You can get trouble with mount orders etc. especially in cluster environments when you have loads of those.
