To shrink a filesystem on AIX is not simple task like it can by on some other operating systems, for instance RHEL 6 has an option to re-size up or down the filesystem and logical volume all in one command, although it requires it to unmount as part of the process.
Actually this is correct only historically. Since IIRC version 5.3 it is possible to shrink a filesystem. Initially it was possible only if the end of the underlying LV (from where the shrinking took place) was not already used by files but since then AIX does a "reorgfs" automatically as it seems. The only restricition (obviously) is that the resulting size must be big enough to hold all the existing data.
To shrink a FS (and the underlying LV as well) do, analogous to a growth:
I hope this helps.

Hello,
I need explanations about physical disks and physical volumes. What is the difference between these 2 things?
In fact, i am trying to understand what the AIX lspv2command does.
Thank you in advance. (2 Replies)
I have a 50GB section of my hard drive on which I've kept all my music, movies and more back from when I had Windows. When I'm in linux it says that the NTFS section is a read only section. Is it possible to copy, rename, add, move or delete any files off of this section? I'm trying to get rid... (2 Replies)

A great big "HI" to everybody. I'm new to the Forum and now to my problem(s).
I am about to partition my only 80GB HD and using the Partition Magic 8 software it looks fairly simple although here is my problem :-
1. Do I change the new partition to primary or logical?
2. Do I... (4 Replies)
I was in smit, checking on disc space, etc. and it appears that one of our physical volumes that is part of a large volume group, has no free physical partitions. The server is running AIX 5.1. What would be the advisable step to take in this instance? (9 Replies)
Hi everyone :b:

At my computer shop where I work, we got alot of used PC's from some place. It's my job to refurbish them for resale. Each computer comes with XP pro. So the boss man asks me if there is a way to put a XP restore option. I say yes if I install Linux on a small partion and use partimage to make a... (1 Reply)
I can't control the partion order during install.
For example i need.
hda5 /var 1GB
hda6 /opt 2GB
I created them in such order but OS adjust them to
hda5 /opt 2GB
hda6 /var 1GB
It is frustrating during install, I pretty sure I can order the partion as i like... (0 Replies)

ppmtosixel
ppmtosixel(1) General Commands Manual ppmtosixel(1)NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format
SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC
LJ250 color inkjet printer.
If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table
begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file.
OPTIONS -raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com-
pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni-
tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower.
-margin
If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci-
fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image.
PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?.
BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was
greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the
color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation.
