Here is a trick I do. Find out the sizes of directories which are overly using space. Pick one which will bring the usage DOWN by 10%. Now tar/cpio the whole directory to a different partition and delete it.(of course logically, that directory should not be used by any of the applications actively. If they are, shutdown the app). Now expand it to whatever size you want to the hearts content. Veritas needs 5 to 10% of free space to do the actual expansion.
Good luck and let us how you fare. -GGR Rajiv G Gunja On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 10:11 PM, Sengor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 3/15/08, Doug Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You can still expand it, just pick a small number.. a block or two.. > > that gives you some space to expand it slightly more, and then slightly > > more, and so in.
