I have installed this fileset bos.rte.lvm.79 and now I can't increase the
size of the /usr filesystem

We ran into this last night with a box patched to most recent levels.
(bos.rte.lvm to 4.3.3.79 and other filesets such as bos.rte.libc to .81)
It works fine with ML09 itself, but not after bringing it to latest, and
examination of everything (LV, PV, ODM, etc) shows things are in order
and sane... so we think it's a (*) bug. We can't even grow LVs even
one more 512 byte block even though there are tons of free PPs, and
continguous, and perfectly mirrored, etc.

My advise: never just update individual filesets unless your absolutely sure
you need them (for example an IBM asp support guy told you so).
Always stick to Maintenance Levels like ML8, ML9 and you never have
to worry again. AIX is not NT and not so stressy with updates.
Good luck!

I just got off a 2 hour call into IBM on this; level 1 and 2 techs agree
this looks like a bona fide bug, and I'm in the process of creating a snap
to give to the level 3 person to analyze, in about 10 minutes.

I whipped up a box that was installed at 4.3.3 ML09 and then *only*
bos.rte.lvm 4.3.3.79 was applied. Broke. Backed out, tried .78. Worked.
(The full examination was, of course, a bit more in-depth than that.)

PMR 73350 Branch 180 for anybody who's tracking.

They found and fixed the bug...APAR IY28711, fixed with PTF U481914, which
is not yet available so we're getting an efix for it now.
