NAME
extendfs — extend a file system size (generic)
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/extendfs
[-F
FStype]
[-q]
[-v]
[-s
size]
special
DESCRIPTION
If the original
file system image created on
special
does not make use of all of the available space,
extendfs
can be used to increase the capacity of a
file system by updating the file system structure
to include the extra space.
The command-line parameter
special
specifies the device special file
of either a logical volume or a disk partition.
The
special
must be un-mounted before
extendfs
can be run (see
mount(1M)).
Options
extendfs
recognizes the following options:
- -F FStype
Specify the file system type on which to operate (see
fstyp(1M)
and
fs_wrapper(5)).
If this option is not included on the command line,
then the file system type is determined from the file
/etc/default/fs.
- -q
Query the size of
special.
No file system extension will be done.
- -v
Verbose flag.
- -s size
Specifies the number of
DEV_BSIZE
blocks to be added to the file system.
If
size
is not specified, the maximum possible size is used.
EXAMPLES
To increase the capacity of
a file system created on a logical volume,
enter:
lvextend -L larger_size
/dev/vg00/lvol1
extendfs -F hfs /dev/vg00/rlvol1
mount /dev/vg00/lvol1 mount_directory
