Not quite correct as far as the use of FDRCOPY goes.

 

On the COPY statement there is the keyword HFS=QUIESCE which to quote from the 
manual:

 

HFS=

QUIESCE – Invokes special processing when Hierarchical File System (HFS)

data sets are copied. HFS=QUIESCE implies DSNENQ=USE so it will first

attempt to get a SYSDSN enqueue on the file. If the enqueue fails, it probably

means that the file system is mounted to UNIX System Services (USS), so a

“quiesce” call is issued to prevent updates to the data set during the copy. If

the quiesce fails and ENQERR=BYPASS was specified, the HFS data set will

not be copied. See section 80.11 for details and security requirements.

 

NOTE: HFS=QUIESCE implies DSNENQ=USE (described earlier) for all data sets being

backed up, not just HFS data sets. HFS=QUIESCE does not apply when moving

HFS data sets; they must be dismounted before the MOVE.

 

Default: HFS data sets will not be quiesced unless HFSQUIESCE is set to YES in

the FDR Global Options Table (see section 90.13). If you use the default,

you should unmount the file system before the backup to be sure of

getting a usable backup.

In order to make sure you get a clean copy using FDRCOPY, you'll have to either 
quiese or unmount the filesystem before doing the copy to a new/backup data 
set.  HFS is very intolerant of fuzzy copies.

 

As for the expansion, this is way easier with zfs v.s. hfs.  It has been a 
while since I have dealt with HFS... so maybe one of the other members knows 
the answer.

 

If there isn't an easy way.. then:

1) make a new hfs/zfs file

2) mount it somewhere like /u/temp

3) there are various methods .. I have seen various documents indicating use of 
pax.  I have just run a cp command with recursive and preserve  cp -Rp.
