Milan, I am horrified! Are you saying you tell them, and then alter your posts afterwards so no one else knows what you told them, in a, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, kind of way.

Agreed .Net is the future!

example
To change the file system size of the /test File System, enter:

chfs -a size=+24576 /test

where 24576 blocks = 12MB
(512 bytes is the standard block size in AIX)

unfortunately this question is a product of having to work in a consolidated infrastructure environment

purleeeeeeaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeee

throw away these damn superdomes and bring back separate hosts for each
system with their own disks

forever there are conflicts between activities required on systems on the same hosts and forever there are disk space issues

oh well pays the bills dunnit

contracting, every little helps

Andy, can you expand on the second question I gave, an example of the disk space extents calculation

thanks,

Milan.

Afternoon All,

does anybody have a Milan Benes level idiots guide to
getting started with HP/UX Volume Groups and Logical Volumes
and disk space ?

I need to rapidly learn how to:

check available disk space bdf .
check which volume group, which logical volume
check how many extents (?) are available
calculate how much disk I need
extend the logical volume

and everything must work afterwards

anybody got any idiots guides to getting started in this stuff ?

Thanks,

Milan.
