Error Message

Following error may be seen when attempting to resize encapsulated file systems:

#/etc/vx/bin/vxresize -F vxfs -g rootdghome2  +1g  
VxVM vxresizeERROR V-5-1-2331 Cannot resize volume home2 (VXFS file system notmounted)

The first step to identify this issue is to verify that the file system is mounted:

#mount | grep

Example:
#mount | grep home2
/export/home2 on/dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/home2read/write/setuid/devices/delaylog/largefiles/qio/ioerror=mwdisable/dev=3f8cf0con Tue Oct 16 05:30:00 2007

The vxresize command is attempting to verify the file system is mounted by examining the/etc/mnttab for the device /dev/vx/dsk//.  In this instance the expected path is /dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/home2.

 

The error is caused as the "vxresize" command does not recognize the bootdg is an alias for rootdg, so the check fails.

 

To resolve this issue, you must either run the volume resize and file system grow commands individually

OR

Remount the file system using the /dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/ device path.
