hi,
im playing around with Xen and FC5. There is one thing i dont get
working. When i resize a logical volume in dom0 with lvextend, and this
volume is used and mounted in a domU, it seems that the domU does not
notice the new size of the partition until rebooted.
stupid question: did you resize the filesystem after extending the
logical volume ?
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.9
this works for me:
- shutdown DomU
- extend LV in Dom0
- extend filesystem in Dom0
- restart (create) domU
Should this work somehow without rebooting the domU, or is this the
intended behavior?
in theory, with a filesystem that allows online-resizing (see link
above), it shouldn't be necessary to shutdown DomU. But haven't tried yet.
I think, i could create a volume goup inside of a domU and add space to
the domU by adding new block devices and adding their space to the
volume group. But is this really a clever way of doing this, or are
there any easier ways?
extending the logical volume in Dom0 is surely a more elegant approach.
