Cannot grow jfs file system on AIX 5.2
Hello all,
I'm trying to grow a file system by 500MB using SMIT on AIX 5.2 but I receive this error:
"0516-404 allocp: This system cannot fulfill the allocation request.
There are not enough free partitions or not enough physical volumes
to keep strictness and satisfy allocation requests. The command
should be retried with different allocation characteristics."
The file system I need to grow is /usr. It is a JFS file system - not JFS2. It resides on volume group rootvg. I verified this with the following command:
(I excluded all the other output, assuming it's irrelevant)
# lsvg -l rootvg
rootvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
hd2 jfs 276 552 2 open/syncd /usr
I verified there is at least 500MB free on the volume group with the command below (there's 700MB free):
# lsvg rootvg
VOLUME GROUP: rootvg VG IDENTIFIER: 0001770a00004c00000001100eb4b862
VG STATE: active PP SIZE: 32 megabyte(s)
VG PERMISSION: read/write TOTAL PPs: 1218 (38976 megabytes)
MAX LVs: 256 FREE PPs: 22 (704 megabytes)
LVs: 13 USED PPs: 1196 (38272 megabytes)
OPEN LVs: 12 QUORUM: 1
TOTAL PVs: 3 VG DESCRIPTORS: 3
STALE PVs: 0 STALE PPs: 0
ACTIVE PVs: 3 AUTO ON: yes
MAX PPs per PV: 1016 MAX PVs: 32
LTG size: 128 kilobyte(s) AUTO SYNC: no
HOT SPARE: no BB POLICY: relocatable
Does anyone know why I'm receiving this error? Can you grow JFS file sytems or do they need to be JFS2? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

We are using AIX 5.2 using jfs2 almost all excpt one mount.
Is it possible for a non root user id to mount one file system without journaling turned on, perform some activities and then remount (un-mount and mount) the same file system again.
Please advise if this is possible
