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.

mdbfontsize

mdbFontSize(5)							 The m17n Library						    mdbFontSize(5)

NAME

       mdbFontSize - Font Size

DESCRIPTION

       In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a
       bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information
       about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.

       FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT *

       PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')'

       FONT-SPEC ::=
	   '(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
	      [ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
	    REGISTRY ')'

       ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER

       FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
       See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.

       ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT:

	   ((devanagari-cdac) 150)

       instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is
       'devanagari-cdac'.
