The utility can be used with either psd or psv devices. Use this syntax to

specify the device:

• For a psd device partition, the device is specified as

/dev/psd/psdXXXpYY, where XXX is the drive number and YY is the

partition number. For example, /dev/psd/psd6p4 specifies partition 4 on

disk psd6.

• For a non-partitioned psd device, the device is specified as

/dev/psd/psdXXX, where XXX is the drive number. For example,

/dev/psd/psd5.

• For a psv device, the device is specified as /dev/psv/psvXXX, where XXX

is the volume number. For example, /dev/psv/psv1.

You do not need to specify the full path name. A name such as psd6p4 or

psv1 will work.

This program does not change the size of the partition containing the

filesystem. Instead, you will need to use a utility specific to your RAID

subsystem to modify the size of the partition. You will need to deport the disk

containing the filesystem before you modify the partitions.

CAUTION: Be sure to back up your data before using this program.

You can use the -s option to specify the new size for the filesystem. If you do

not specify the size, the filesystem will grow to the size of the partition. The -s

option can be used as follows:

• Specify the size in kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes:

-s

size[K|M|G|T]

• Specify the amount (in kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes) by

which the filesystem should be increased:

-s [+|-]size[K|M|G|T]

The following example increases the size of the filesystem by 1 GB.

resizepsfs -s +1G /dev/psd/psd6p4
