Hi.
We have AIX version 4.3. We are running out of space in one of the filesystems. For our upgrade , we need a space in the work directory(for sorts, etc), which is part of the file system.How can we get more space in our work directory, with filesystem merely full?
Does anybody have any recommendation on how to proceed.
Please Hellp!!!

I'm fairly confident that you have solved the problem by now, but just in case....

-You must first to root user.
'su -'
-Then do a to determine which fs's you wish to enlarge.
'df -k'
(Keep in mind that AIX is a journaled filesystem, and allows this action, as opposed to Sun's Solaris, which doesn't allow for on the fly fs
mods like this. Big selling point!!)
-Determine how much allocated disk space you have left in the volume group in question.
'lsvg rootvg|grep FREE'
-After determining which fs you wish to expand:
'chfs -a size=(size here in 512-byte blocks) /usr' (for example)
-You can also change the size in increments if you are concerened about space:
'chfs -a size=+(size in 512 byte blocks)

lemme know if you have other questions!
