Now and then we reach 100% usage of our filesystems and if you can't delete
files you need to extend the filesystem. I run LSM on Digital UNIX 3.2C and
using the nice graphical interface dxlsm, I can choose to resize my
volumes. The corresponding filesystem (mounted on the volume), however,
will not change it's size. So I have to copy my filesystem to another
place, create a new (bigger) filesystem on my newly resized volume and
finally copy my files back. Not very elegant! Can't this be done in a
simpler way? I will summarize the answers.
