If you are using volumes you must enlarge them by using

can only enlarge unmounted filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Do not try enlarging a mounted filesystem, your system may panic and you will
|
|
|
|
not be able to use the filesystem any longer.

In fact, you can only increase the size of the filesystem.

2001-07-15 07:53:42 +00:00

for other changes.

|
2000-12-09 15:27:35 +00:00

It is also recommended to always use

2000-12-12 20:03:17 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr fsck 8

2001-08-08 21:45:42 +00:00

2000-12-09 15:27:35 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2001-08-08 21:45:42 +00:00
|
|
|
For enlarging beyond certain limits, it is essential to have some free blocks
|
2000-12-12 20:03:17 +00:00
|
|
|
available in the first cylinder group.
|
2001-08-08 21:45:42 +00:00
|
|
|
If that space is not available in the first cylinder group, a critical data
|
|
|
|
structure has to be relocated into one of the new available cylinder groups.
|
|
|
|
On
|
|
|
|
.Fx
|
|
|
|
3.x this will cause problems with
|
2001-08-10 10:15:41 +00:00

|
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
2001-08-08 21:45:42 +00:00

2001-08-08 21:45:42 +00:00

To avoid an unexpected relocation of that structure it is possible to use

|
|
has enough blocks.
|
2002-05-16 04:10:46 +00:00
|
|
|
As a rule of thumb for default filesystem parameters one block is needed for
|
|
|
|
every 2 GB of total filesystem size.

2001-08-08 21:45:42 +00:00

|
|
|
|
updates.
|
2002-02-06 21:45:48 +00:00
|
|
|
This read operation will provide unexpected data when using
