Help on increasing fs size

Hi Experts,

I am not sure whether my question should be in this thread or some other one. I am using HP Tru64 system.

Currently one of my filesystem /others is almost full. I need to know the exact commands to increase this filesystem. Please show me how to check for free partitions and add these free partitions to this filesystem to increase its size.


Thanks and regards,

I'm sorry, but I don't remember and I'm currently not in the range of an Tru64 system. Smilie

The command to see your partitions is

df -k

what i used in sco 5.0.6
command "divvy" for changing partition but you must take backup before
start.

I am not familiarized with HP Tru64 but in HP-UX 10.20 you can see it with sam, if you have free space in your hard disk add a new volume group then mount it to your actual directory. You must backup before and empty actual directory.
Hope it helps.-

Which filesystem do you use?
AdvFS is not an LVM, so you can't increase your filesystem. You have to add volumes instead. Did you check my initial answer?
