My 2GB /export/home/ directory is almost 100% full

df -k | grep /export/home
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/vl73 2031711 1951009 19751 99% /export/home

I intend to relocate it to a different 4GB filesystem late at night when there is no user on the system.

How can i relocate this ....

2 Possibilities in my Opinion:

• first, try to increase the FS (look for free LP's in your Volgroup)
• second, build new fs (backup/restore the data)

-e.g.
- crfs new FS /export/home2 with enough Size and mount it
- cd /export/home && rsync -av * /export/home2 (rsync = Aixtoolbox Tool) - Look for /export/home/.*
- umount /export/home
- umount /export/home2
- chfs -m /export/home_old /export/home
- chfs -m /export/home /export/home2
- mount /export/home
