Extending a file system using extendfs

If a VxFS file system is not mounted, you can use the extendfs command to increase the size of the file system.

To extend a VxFS file system

vxfs

The file system type

-q

Displays the size of special without resizing it

-v

Specifies verbose mode

-s size

Specifies the number of blocks to add to the file system (maximum if not specified)

special

Note:

If the file system resides on a volume set, the extendfs command fails. Use the fsvoladm command to extend a multi-volume file system. See the fsvoladm(1M) manual page.
