Hi Mike, As I recall from your previous emails, you added a few of these drives below as new PVs to your VG. You now need to do an lvextend on the existing logical volume to make use of this additional space in the volume group. AFTER the lvextend, you will need to expand the filesystem so it makes use of the new space as well. If you are using ext2 (I can't remember if you are using Reiser), then there is an LVM tool (e2fsadm) which should do both the lvextend and the fs extend. If you are using Reiser or XFS, they will have their own tools for doing the fs extend. The other option is to create a second logical volume in that group, with a new filesystem. If you need a single filesystem for all that space, then you will need the procedure above. -Kevin ---------------------------------- Hi all. I seem to be missing 100Gb out of a possible 300Gb! Check it out: [root@filmore jdiehl]# fdisk -l | grep LVM /dev/sdb5 226 4402 33551721 8e Linux LVM /dev/sdb6 4403 8579 33551721 8e Linux LVM /dev/sdb7 8580 12756 33551721 8e Linux LVM /dev/sdb8 12757 15030 18265873+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/sdc6 7015 14028 56339923+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/sdc7 14029 21042 56339923+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/sdc8 21043 28056 56339923+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/sdc9 28057 30945 23205861 8e Linux LVM [root@filmore jdiehl]# Adding this space up, I get 311Gb. But: [root@filmore jdiehl]# lvdisplay /dev/Database2/data --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/Database2/data VG Name Database2 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available LV # 1 # open 1 LV Size 215.3 GB Current LE 27558 Allocated LE 27558 Allocation next free Read ahead sectors 120 Block device 58:0 Here we see that I only have access to 215Gb. Where is the rest of my space?
