Add more space to LVM

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



I have a database server that is running out of space.  All my databases are being stored in a 80G /opt partition.  Because I’m using LVM, wouldn’t I be able to pop the HDDs (a h/w raid volume) in, add it to the LVM, and resize my ext3 /opt partition?  Everything that I’ve been reading says this is possible, but I’m not sure.  Has anyone done this and are there any pitfalls to watch out for?  Is there a better way?  I’ve thought about just rebuilding the server and restoring the databases from a backup on the new setup.  Any suggestions on proper path would be appreciated.  I’m running the current version of CentOS 5.

 

Regards,

Todd
