Thanks Kwan, I'll try that tomorrow. Regards, Ignacio. Kwan Lowe escribió:
Hi, I've a few Virtual Machines running FC5, the host is also FC5. I want to add some hd space to one of the VMs, and as they are using LVM, I think it shouldn't be so difficult. This is the line configuring the harddisk for the Xen VM: disk = [ 'file:/mnt/md0/xenM/autillo/autillo1,xvda,w' ] How do add other xvda? I want to create, for example /mnt/md0/xenM/autillo/autillo2 and add that space to the LVM in the VM. How should I do this? Maybe the solution is to export autillo2 as /dev/hdX or /dev/sdX? How should I format the file using mke2fs? Thanks a lot and sorry if the questions are easy to solve, but I'm still not clear about that things!Easiest way is to use dd to create a blank file in ./autillo. E.g.: dd if=/dev/zero of=autillo2 count=1024 bs=1M Then, edit the configuration and add the new disk: disk = [ 'file:/mnt/md0/xenM/autillo/autillo1,xvda,w', \ 'file:/mnt/md0/xenM/autillo/autillo2,xvdb,w' ] You need to shutdown then restart the domU at that point (xm restart on the domU doesn't seem to pick up the new disk). >From the domU, you should then be able to see a new disk ("dmesg |grep xvdb"). Use fdisk to partition it as an 8e partition. Write the new table. Run pvcreate against /dev/xvdb1. Then vgextend the new PVs into your existing volume group.
