I'm new to Linux and LVM coming from a BSD and Solaris background so I
apologize up front if there are good docs for this that I'm missing. After
googling around and going through the LVM Admin docs for CentOS I have a
few questions about an issue I have.
Somehow either I did it out of stupidity or the installer automagically
installed LVM and included both drives I have on this server. It's
configured as 1 Volume group and 1 huge drive so most of the docs on LVM
I've seen don't jive. Here's my pvdisplay:
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda2
VG Name VolGroup00
PV Size 148.91 GB / not usable 4.15 MB
Allocatable yes (but full)
PE Size (KByte) 32768
Total PE 4765
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 4765
PV UUID DOv3Cl-LWoU-JG04-PT0P-VfIV-89p2-yrdnbp
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sdb1
VG Name VolGroup00
PV Size 149.05 GB / not usable 17.13 MB
Allocatable NO
PE Size (KByte) 32768
Total PE 4769
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 4769
PV UUID LK017x-dWzY-KIGL-kfOr-687Z-DgEn-YMfOw5
As you can see it seems like there's no room...but here's my df print:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
288G 170G 104G 63% /
/dev/sda1 99M 31M 64M 33% /boot
tmpfs 315M 0 315M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdc1 230G 134G 85G 62% /ext_drive
So I'm running out of room and wanting to move all data to my main drive
so I can replace the 2nd drive with a bigger one. When I try a pvmove it
states I have no room:
pvmove -v /dev/sdb1
Finding volume group "VolGroup00"
No extents available for allocation
So now I'm lost...how can I put all data on my 1st drive and unhook the
2nd from LVM to replace it ? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm
installing system-config-lvm hoping the GUI may help me as well.
