# vxresize -b -F vxfs -g sproddbdg backup +490g xp24k-posprod-a-240...

VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-2605 cannot stat /backup

Using tusc, we can see the vxresize command fails in statvfs() system call, which returned errno 72, i.e.:

statvfs("/backup", 0x7fffedc0) ........................... ERR#72 EOVERFLOW
 

This issue is caused because vxresize used statvfs() instead of statvfs64() system call.

The issue had been logged as incident 2222105 and fix in 5.1SP1 and above patches.

2222105 (839077) Customer unable to grow 2.6Tb volume/file system with vxresize due to statvfs() returning EOVERFLOW

For lower versions

HP-UX:

5.0.1 11.31 : Fixed in 5.0.1RP3P3 (and above) which can be downloaded from link https://sort.Veritas.com/patch/detail/5900

5.0 11:23 : Fixed in 5.0MP2RP3 (and above) which can be downloaded from link https://sort.Veritas.com/patch/detail/4232

Workaround:

Until the patch can be installed, below workaround can be used.

1.  Grow volume seperately using the vxassist command
2. Then grow the corresponding filesystem using the fsadm command
