If I try # vxresize -g rootdg swapvol 16384m I get vxvm:vxresize: ERROR: resizing volume other than FSGEN or RAID5 can result in loss of data. Use -f option to force resize this volume. I tried with the -f option: it didn't complain, but it didn't do it either. Any idea how this can be accomplished? (even better without rebooting or going to single user mode?) I will summarize Thanks in advance Loris Esat Telecommunications Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of BT Group plc Registered in Ireland, Registration No. 141524 Grand Canal Plaza, Upper Grand Canal Street, Dublin, Ireland This electronic message contains information (and may contain files) from Esat Telecommunications Limited which may be privileged or confidential.
