Operating Systems AIX Increasing ./usr or any filesystem Post 302454398 by zxmaus on Saturday 18th of September 2010 01:35:37 AM

Hi,
Quote:
I can see that free PP is 1004, not so sure 1 PP stands for how many MBs. I just assume 139776 devide by 1004 = 139.219 mb per 1PP.
Wrong. As your own output shows:
Quote:
PP SIZE: 128 megabyte(s)
You do not have to extend /usr ever - as it is supposed to be used only for package installations - and these have the capability to extend the filesystem according to their needs. If it runs full, commit old packages that are only applied - this makes a lot of space free.
Quote:
Can I keep on adding the size?
Sure - as long as you haven't reached the size you defined when creating your logical volume filesystem. If you did reach you will get an error message and need to change this size to a greater value.
btw - if you run df -g instead of df -k, it makes the entire output a lot more readable.

For future, read the LVM redbook or at least a basic system administration redbook - these are written for AIX 5L but basic commands never change on AIX. If you are switching from Solaris or HP to AIX there are very good redbooks for this as well.
Kind regards
zxmaus
