A method, system, and program for adjusting the size of a file system and
an inline file system log housed in a static logical volume. A computer
system includes a logical volume allocated between an file system and its
inline file system log. A request is received to adjust the inline log
from a current size to a new size while maintaining the size of the
logical volume. Storage space is then allocated from within the logical
volume to the inline log according to the storage requirement for the new
size. Allocating storage space may require decreasing or increasing the
amount of storage formerly allocated to the inline log. Then, the inline
log is reformatted to the allocated storage space, such that the storage
allocated to the inline log for a file system is adjusted while the size
of the logical volume housing the inline log and file system remains
static.
