Reducing a file system in hp-ux

Before you begin this process, make sure you defrag the file system first.

The process involves reducing the file system and then the logical volume.

Once you have defrag the file system first, you can now reduce the file system.

1) First reduce the file system

# fsadm –F vxfs –b SmallerM /Fsname (Use “M” if the size is in Megabyte)

2) Now reduce the logical volume.

# lvreduce –L Smallersize /lvname (same size as used above)

NOTE: Make sure you are follow step 1 and 2 in sequece and not other way round, else you will loose your data.
