thank you both solutions seems very good.
i think the easiest way is just create a link from the directory under /var and /opt or just mount a separate file system like you said. thats the easiest and fastest way to do it. i would like to avoid an mksysb restore.

I want to increase the size of /tmp by 1GB
I know that the command is
chfs -a size=+1G /tmp
But the rootvg is mirrored and when I do a lsvg -p rootvg, I could see 2 disks.
Will there be any impact if I increase the size of /tmp when the rootvg is mirrored ?
Please advise. (1 Reply)

The root filesystem was mirrored, someone/something stopped mirroring, and increased / and /home to ridiculous values (/ got increased to 102gb and its only using 4.3gb, so 98gb is free). Can I reduce the / (/dev/hd4) filesytem down WITHOUT corrupting the the OS?

copyfs-mount
COPYFS-MOUNT(1) User Commands COPYFS-MOUNT(1)
NAME
copyfs-mount - mounts a versioned file system
SYNOPSIS
copyfs-mount version-directory mount-point
DESCRIPTION
This script lets you mount a CopyFS file system. version-directory is the directory where the files and version information will be stored
by CopyFS.
When using CopyFS for the first time, copyfs-mount will create the required files in the version-directory before running copyfs-daemon.
mount-point is the directory where the copyfs file system will be mounted. This is where the users will have access to the files.
If you want to mount a CopyFS at '/mnt/fs', whose version directory is at /var/versions, you would use:
root@host# copyfs-mount /var/versions /mnt/fs
To unmount it, simply do:
root@host# umount /mnt/fs
As you would do for any other filesystem.
You can also allow an ordinary non-root users to mount and unmount CopyFS filesystems provided that the user is added to the 'fuse' group.
Ordinary users will be able unmount the filesystem, using the fusermount command:
$ fusermount -u mount-point
