6.14.2 Increasing the Size of the root File System
This procedure describes how to increase the size of the system partition and /
(root) file system.
This procedure is performed while the file system remains online.
Note:
There are two system partitions, LVDbSys1
and LVDbSys2
. One partition is active and mounted. The other partition is inactive and used as a backup location during upgrade. The size of both system partitions must be equal.
Keep at least 1 GB of free space in the VGExaDb
volume group. The free space is used for the LVM snapshot created by the dbnodeupdate.sh
utility during software maintenance. If you make snapshot-based backups of the /
(root) and /u01
directories as described in Creating a Snapshot-Based Backup of Oracle Linux Database Server, then keep at least 6 GB of free space in the VGExaDb
volume group.
