vxvol growfs

vxvol [-g<DynamicDiskGroupName>] growfs <VolumeName | DriveLetter |<VmName|DrivePath> [<length>]

Grows the file system if a volume is resized but the file system fails to resize correctly. If the optional parameter [<length>] is not used, the command would try to grow the file system size to the full volume size.

The following attributes apply:

-g<DynamicDiskGroupName>

Needed only if you are using the internal volume name parameter.

<VolumeName>

The path name of the volume, such as \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\DG1\Volume1.

<DriveLetter>

The drive letter of the volume.

<VmName>

Internal name of the volume; requires the use of the -g option, such as -gDG1 Volume1.

<DrivePath>

A volume that is mounted on an NTFS folder; it is indicated by a path to that folder.

<length>

Size of the volume in MB. If no size is indicated, the volume is grown to the maximum size.

Note:

Any growth is limited to a maximum of 2 TB every time this command is run. The file system usable space is in general somewhat smaller than the raw volume size, since the file system itself occupies space. Only use this command when you see a large difference between the volume size and the file system capacity.

Example

vxvol growfs J: 1000

This command would grow the file system size of volume J by 1 GB.

vxvol growfs J:

This command would grow the file system size of volume J to the full volume size.
