For example, the configuration of the device testdev from isql:
sp_helpdevice testdev device_name physical_name description status cntrltype device_number low high ----------- ------------------- ------------- ------- --------- ------------- ------------- -------------- testdev /sybase/dev/testdev.dat special, dsync on, physical disk, 4.00MB 16386 0 8 134217728.000000 134219775.000000
To increase the size of testdev by 4MB using disk resize, enter:
disk resize name = "test_dev", size = "4M"
testdev.dat is now 8MB:
sp_helpdevice testdev device_name physical_name description status cntrltype device_number low high ----------- ------------------- ------------- ------- --------- ------------- ------------- -------------- testdev /sybase/dev/testdev.dat special, dsync on, physical disk, 8.00MB 16386 0 8 134217728.000000 134221823.000000
