Hi all...
I have a DUNIX V4.0D system with / & swap on one internal 4.3gb disk and
/usr on another internal 4.3gb disk. / & /usr are advfs file sets on
lsm volumes. The system also has a number of 4.3's on an HSZ70. I am
in the process of mirroring /, swap & /usr (in fact I have mirrored / &
swap already).
When I set the system up I SHOULD have installed onto the HSZ based
disks then mirrored onto the internal disks - but I did it the other way
around!
The HSZ based disks have a few blocks less (the exact number doesn't
matter) space available than the internal disks when the default disk
label has been written. I guess this is because of space allocated for
some kind of HSZ meta-data.
I cant mirror /usr because my destination disk is smaller than the
source (it works the other way around).
I know that I can backup my existing /usr to my destination disk, modify
fstab to mount the new copy, reboot, then do the mirror (small --> large
disks).
However, the question is: Is there a way to reduce the size of the
existing sub disk on the running lsm volume (for /usr) online without
corrupting the existing advfs domain/file set container thereon?
Your help is appreciated.
Regards - Tony
