AIX

Hi All,

Recently I came to know my / root file system is getting full because of application directory /siebel/


I have one option.
1) Down the application , take full backup
2)change the filesystem ownership
2)copy the contents into that filesystem

Code:

cp -pr /siebel/* /siebelfs/*

3)Inform app team to test and set their path.
4) Post success remove /siebel directory under /

But i want to mount that(siebel/)directory as a filesystem to an existing filesystem(siebelfs) , Becoz to avoid moving data. Is it possible???

Thank,
Thala

Of what?
And If unlucky will copy recursely till filesystem is full because of links...

So do as so:

Code:

cd /siebel
find . -print|cpio -pduml /siebelfs/.
cd /
rm -rf /siebel
mkdir /siebel

then perhaps using smit to change the mountpoint of siebelfs to /siebel...

In Man page,

The cpio command is not enabled for files greater than 2GB in size due to limitations imposed by XPG/4 and POSIX.2 standards.

My file size is 70GB.

kindly advise.

File or directory size?

/siebel/ directory is 70GB

Since you have tsm, use it to make an archive of /siebel

Remove /siebel
mount siebelfs /siebel

and retrieve giving /siebel as destination... ( no need because for tsm - same destination)

By the way : The limitation of cpio is fo files only... ( So you could give it a try... that is what I do to transfer FS server to server...)

Ok ill try this and reply the status after 6hrs.
