Re: Oracle 7.3.3 on AIX 4.2.1 & Raw Devices

it's easy:
expand de logical volume with smit, it does not destroy any data on the LV, next alter the parameters of your tablespace (or datafile, I'm not sure now) to AUTOEXTEND ON, and that's all.
When there is need more space the tablespace will grow automaticaly.
