Description
Error Message
UX:vxfs fsadm: ERROR: V-3-23544: sectors must be >= XXXXXX as they are currently in use.
Cause
This issue can occur when there is a miss in adding the "+" sign while mentioning the new size, indicating an absolute value rather than an incremental value:
UX:vxfs fsadm: ERROR: V-3-23544: sectors must be >=20240524 as they are currently in use.
VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-7514 Problem running fsadm command for volume datavol, in diskgroup datadg
The sector value in the error message indicates that the file system being resized contains 20240524 blocks (512 bytes) of data. This is slightly larger than 10GB. The above command is attempting to resize the volume to 7GB.
To verify the status of the file system use the df command and examine the in-use value:
# vxresize -g datadg datavol 7g UX:vxfs fsadm: ERROR: V-3-23544: sectors must be >=20240524 as they are currently in use.
VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-7514 Problem running fsadm command for volume datavol, in diskgroup datadg
The sector value in the error message indicates that the file system being resized contains 20240524 blocks (512 bytes) of data. This is slightly larger than 10GB. The above command is attempting to resize the volume to 7GB.
To verify the status of the file system use the df command and examine the in-use value:
# df -k | grepdatavol /dev/vx/dsk/datadg/datavol 20480000 10120262 %49 /datavol Resolution
Adjust the resize command with '+' sign so the target size does not clip the data already present on the file system:
#vxresize -g datadg datavol +7g
