Script to increase Filesystem size

[DonDavisFCB]

Does anyone have a good script that will increase the size of a filesystem, but with some built in intelligence?
I plan to use &quot;chfs -a size=+1 <filesystemname> in a script that queries information from hundreds of routers and adds a record to correspondingly hundreds of files every five minutes. I want to add file space as needed and mail to root whenever a pp is added.
I want to build in some self checks that will stop this script if it runs loose and attempts to fill my volume group.

Hi Don

I don't recommend you of using script for increase file system.I used to increase it whenever necessary.

The reason is obvious:To allocate space on a particular fs
one need to consider free pps in particular vg.If they are not available ..we have to add a disk...

I don't have a script bcoz I don't like it.in this regard..If u want I can make an interactive shell script so that u can have control on it.
Anyway...if u still think of script...let me know..I will write it and post it in this forum

It's more than possiable, I'll write something when I get a minute in the next couple of days, But I can think of lots of reasons why I wouldn't do it.

I would suggest a bit of capacity planning, look at the growth over a month and then add the space you'll need for the next six months and review it monthly.

Why are you wanting to do it anyway?
