Re: [p4] The filesystem ' P4ROOT' has only XM free, but the server configuration requires at least 250M available.

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Matt Janulewicz'.

Most AWS Linux instances default to 8 GB for the root volume. I don't think
they usually use LVM, either, so as far as expanding a live root volume ...
don't do that. Also, in the future, don't put any actual useful data in
there.  :)

My advice would be to create a new volume in AWS and attach it as a new device.
Figure out how much space your current Perforce directories are taking up, and
at least double that for your new volume. Then move all your Perforce stuff to
it.

For future expansion needs, utilize LVM to create separate volumes for Perforce
(probably /depotdata, /metadata and /logs.) With LVM it's trivial to expand
the underlying AWS volume, then expand the underlying volume group, then expand
the individual volumes, as needed, into the empty space.

The Red Hat docs on LVM are useful, even if you don't run Red Hat or a
derivative, the commands are the same:
