Hi, I think I may have made a error in the method I have used to create more space on one of my servers. Here's what I've done. 1) Backed up the LVM volume (phew) 2) Added some disks to the storage array (HP MSA 20) 3) Used the HW Array configurator to do and on-line extend of the Raid Array. It was at this point I realised that I hadn't un-mounted the volume in question. The other thing I am trying to figure out is, how I am going to extend a Physical Volume? I think the procedure should have been to add a completely new array and use pvcreate, vgextend, lvextend and extended the filesystem (ext3). Can anyone confirm if the procedure above is the correct? Right now I am considering deleting the RAID container completely and re-creating and restoring rather than waste any more time but before I do I'd like to hear it if sounds like the procedure is bound to fail. At the moment I think the best I can hope for is that the volume will be fine but the extra disk-space will never be seen? Any thoughts?
