Re: enlarging partition and its filesystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Can you get buy with using lvm features, i.e., just add the chunk to the
volume you want.

Use cfdisk to create a new partition (sudo cfdisk /dev/sda)

Select the unused space, create new partition and then select write, then
quit.

reboot for changes to take.  Go in to lvm, then finally use resize2fs and
your extra space will now be used in the system.

$ sudo lvm
lvm> pvcreate /dev/sda4
  Physical volume "/dev/sda4" successfully created

lvm> pvs
  PV         VG    Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree
  /dev/sda2  vg_c6 lvm2 a--  60.43g     0
  /dev/sda3  vg_c6 lvm2 a--  17.20g     0
  /dev/sda4        lvm2 ---  19.53g 19.53g

lvm> vgextend vg_c6 /dev/sda4
  Volume group "vg_c6" successfully extended

lvm> lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/vg_c6/lv_home
  Size of logical volume vg_c6/lv_home changed from 22.06 GiB (5648
extents) to 41.59 GiB (10647 extents).
  Logical volume lv_home successfully resized

lvm> quit
  Exiting.

$ sudo resize2fs /dev/vg_c6/lv_home
resize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Filesystem at /dev/vg_c6/lv_home is mounted on /home; on-line resizing
required
old desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 3
Performing an on-line resize of /dev/vg_c6/lv_home to 10902528 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/vg_c6/lv_home is now 10902528 blocks long.
