chfs works fine and does not affect existing data. you can keep adding space as long as you have physical space available. I would strongly suggest moving non-OS data out of /usr though. This will make backup/restores go much smoother and avoid having an application affect the OS in a negative way.
chfs is normally the only command that is needed for this. be *very* careful with LVM commands. They are very powerful and can make for a bad day if used improperly.

s3qlcp
S3QLCP(1) S3QL S3QLCP(1)
NAME
s3qlcp - Copy-on-write replication on S3QL file systems
SYNOPSIS
s3qlcp [options] <source-dir> <dest-dir>
DESCRIPTION
S3QL is a file system for online data storage. Before using S3QL, make sure to consult the full documentation (rather than just the man
pages which only briefly document the available userspace commands).
The s3qlcp command duplicates the directory tree source-dir into dest-dir without physically copying the file contents. Both source and
destination must lie inside the same S3QL file system.
The replication will not take any additional space. Only if one of directories is modified later on, the modified data will take additional
storage space.
s3qlcp can only be called by the user that mounted the file system and (if the file system was mounted with --allow-other or --allow-root)
the root user. This limitation might be removed in the future (see issue 155).
Note that:
o After the replication, both source and target directory will still be completely ordinary directories. You can regard <src> as a snapshot
of <target> or vice versa. However, the most common usage of s3qlcp is to regularly duplicate the same source directory, say documents,
to different target directories. For a e.g. monthly replication, the target directories would typically be named something like docu-
ments_January for the replication in January, documents_February for the replication in February etc. In this case it is clear that the
target directories should be regarded as snapshots of the source directory.
o Exactly the same effect could be achieved by an ordinary copy program like cp -a. However, this procedure would be orders of magnitude
slower, because cp would have to read every file completely (so that S3QL had to fetch all the data over the network from the backend)
before writing them into the destination folder.
Snapshotting vs Hardlinking
Snapshot support in S3QL is inspired by the hardlinking feature that is offered by programs like rsync or storeBackup. These programs can
create a hardlink instead of copying a file if an identical file already exists in the backup. However, using hardlinks has two large dis-
advantages:
o backups and restores always have to be made with a special program that takes care of the hardlinking. The backup must not be touched by
any other programs (they may make changes that inadvertently affect other hardlinked files)
o special care needs to be taken to handle files which are already hardlinked (the restore program needs to know that the hardlink was not
just introduced by the backup program to safe space)
S3QL snapshots do not have these problems, and they can be used with any backup program.
OPTIONS
The s3qlcp command accepts the following options:
--debug
activate debugging output
--quiet
be really quiet
--version
just print program version and exit
EXIT STATUS
s3qlcp returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some error occurred.
SEE ALSO
The S3QL homepage is at http://code.google.com/p/s3ql/.
The full S3QL documentation should also be installed somewhere on your system, common locations are /usr/share/doc/s3ql or
/usr/local/doc/s3ql.
