Hi...
We have a client with Linux on an LPAR (no VM) who keeps filling his root file system. Not one particular directory, but first one, then another, etc... So there's not just one that we could offload to a 2nd volume. Plus, when he built the system he allocated about 1/3 of the volume to a swap partition, so he really only has 2/3 of a 3390-3 for the root filesystem.
His shop also has very little "spare" DASD. But he did manage to deal with the storage guy and make a deal to "trade" his 3390-3 volume for a 3390-9 volume. (No, he can't keep the 3390-3 volume also.)
What's the easiest way to move BOTH the root filesystem and the swap space to the new volume? I assume just format (dasdfmt), then partition (fdisk), then create a filesystem on the non-swap partition, then mount it and just do a copy of the whole filesystem (cp -pR).
If that's right, here's the last of the questions: - Aside from the format and partition above, I don't have to do anything else to initialize the swap space, right? - How do I move the boot text from the old volume to the new? - Since it's LPAR and I can't just change the virtual address, is there anywhere I have to put the new real address of the volume?
Then just boot the new volume, right??
Thanks, Lee Stewart
