    I have checked through the documentation, and require some clarification.

    I have 2 advfs partitions - /apps and /data on 2 different file domains.

    apps_domain#apps /apps advfs..........
    data_domain#data /data advfs..........

    I am looking to extend these without the need to back up and restore as they
    are quite large already and downtime is not easy to get.

    >From the docs, I see that advfs utilities will allow an addvol to be done.
    This will extend the domain, but the partition is mounted on a fileset, so
    will using addvol to extend the domain allow the extension of the /app
    directory is a way that is unknown to the users.
    eg, will my /apps directory expand from 50Gb to 80Gb.

    Also, can you only addvol a full disk, ie a dsk5c partition, or can I use
    'g' and 'h' for /apps and /data. If not, I will have to reconfigure my new
    ra3000 disks.

    Thanks,
    Alan
