Extending a file system using fsadm

If a VxFS file system is not large enough, you can increase its size. The size of the file system is specified in units of 1024-byte blocks (or sectors).

The device must have enough space to contain the larger file system.

See the format(1M) manual page.

See the Veritas Volume Manager Administrator's Guide.
