  1. Ensure you mounted the VxFS file system.

    See the mount(1M) manual page.

    If you need to mount the VxFS file system, see the mount_vxfs(1M) manual page.

  2. Use the fsadm command to trigger space reclamation:

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/fsadm -V vxfs -R /<VxFS_mount_point>
    

    where <VxFS_mount_point> is the name of the VxFS file system mount point.

Note:

If the VxFS file system is not mounted you will receive an error message. For example: Disk 3pardata0_110 : Skipped. No VxFS file system found.

See the Veritas File System Administrator's Guide for more information on how to trigger Thin Reclamation on a VxFS file system.
