conflicting info in the header ? power5 and 4.3.3 ? u need 5.2 for p5 ..

hd3 is /tmp ? paste the output from lsvg -l rootvg

To reduce a filesystem size in aix 4.3.3 you have to back it up, blow it away and recreate it .. or savevg / mksysb and shrink filesystems on restore.

To reduce it at 5.2 / 5.3 if its jfs2, then you can use the chfs command .. jfs you still have to backup and restore ..

Hi mark,

i want to reduce the size of /archivelog.


LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT

lv06 jfs 141 141 1 open/syncd /archivelog

The FS is jfs -- you can't reduce the size.
Your only option is to recreate the filesystem. You might want to consider building the filesystem as JFS2. Depending on the type of data being stored and the level of I/O, you probably should not have application data on your rootvg.

Good luck!
