Extend a Basic Volume and Its Filesystem

The PolyServe Management Console provides an option to increase the

size of a PSFS filesystem and the basic volume, or partition, on which it is

located.

NOTE: This option cannot be used to extend filesystems on disks

containing a Matrix Server membership partition.

Select the filesystem on the Management Console, right-click, and select

Extend Volume. Matrix Server then determines whether the disk contains

should be added to the filesystem. The “Before” section reports the

current disk space information for the filesystem and the disk. The

“After” section shows this information based on the increased size that

Extend Filesystem Size window, Matrix Server lists all of the filesystems
