So, apparently, on one of our systems, we ended up creating an lv that mounts to /var/mqm/logs, instead of /var/mqm/log.

Consequently, the /var/mqm lv is using much more space than it should, and the /var/mqm/logs lv is empty.

Can anyone think of a reason not to stop all the qms, copy the files and then remount the lv in the right place?

Hi Jeff,
I would take a full backup before trying it, but in principal it shouln't be a problem. I don't think MQ realy takes notice of it.


cheers

Sebastian

You should definitely be able to do it.

MQ doesn't really care if it's writing to a simple directory or a mounted Filesystem.

I knew that.

I just wanted to confirm that cp wasn't going to do something bad to the files...
