'lil extendfs Help please HPUX 11

[tman138]

I'm importing my production database into my test machine and the volume is too small. I checked and have plenty of disk space available but I've hit a snag. So far I've unmounted the volume umount /dev/vg00/lvol10 extended the logical volume to 3600 Mb: lvextend -L 3600 /dev/vg00/lvol10
but when I try to extend the file system I keep getting the error "Charactor special file required" Ideally I want to extend the file system by 400Mb I've tried: extendfs -F hsf -s 400 /dev/vg00/lvol10 And also: extendfs -F hfs /dev/vg00/lvol10 which I thought would extend the file system to full logical volume size. Both produce the Character special error. What am i missing?

Have you tried extendlv?

I already used lvextend to extend the logical volume, now I need to extend the file system.

 

[tman138]

Got it.

Was it the fact that you weren't using the raw device?

You said " I've tried: extendfs -F hsf -s 400 /dev/vg00/lvol10 And also: extendfs -F hfs /dev/vg00/lvol10 which I thought would extend the file system to full logical volume size"

/dev/vg00/lvol10 is not a filesystem, it is a logical volume, this is why I recommended doing lvextend.

Have you tried:
extendfs -F hsf -s 400 /dev/vg00/rlvol10
the diff is the rlvol10, in stead of lvol10 which should be the raw lv.
