However, you cannot extend a chunk in OnLine. You will need to add a new chunk that starts at the offset of the new extension to the logical volume. Personally, I dislike seeing offsets in the "onstat -d" listing but it is legit and correct. -- -- Jake (Retrospectively realizes there is no future in hindsight) +------------------------------------------------------------+ | The expedient performance of a task with excessive concern | | regarding its duration-to-completion engenders a virtual | | certainty of diminished benefit therefrom. | | -- Benjamin Franklin (but he said it in 3 words) | +------------------------------------------------------------+
