v3fshelper: There is an input or output error

Hello,

I encountered a never-seen-before error message soon after the extension of a file system on an AIX 5.2:

$ sudo chfs -a size=+1G /filesystemtest
v3fshelper: /dev/lvfilesystemtest: There is an input or output error.

No error reported by errpt, file system correctly extended.

Can you please help me to understand at least in which direction investigate?

Thank you in advance!

GIYF!

From the second link i found after typing "v3fshelper" into google:

IY56801: CHFS OCCASIONALLY FAILS WITH V3FSHELPER ERROR

IBM - IY56801: CHFS OCCASIONALLY FAILS WITH V3FSHELPER ERROR

go to the given link (IBM fixdist), get yourself the fix, install it and be done.
