Hi Mark, After doing an lvxtend, you must also resize the filesystem that resides in the LV. With an ext2fs, this can be achieved using the resize2fs tool that is part of the latest ext2fs tools. Be sure to read the manual page carefully, and maybe even backup your valuable data first! ++Jos And thus it came to pass that Mark wrote: (on Mon, Oct 15, 2001 at 05:31:54PM -0700 to be exact) > hi all. > > so when my first logical volume filled up i added a third > physical volume with 'pvcreate /dev/hdx' then > 'vgextend vol_group_name /dev/hdx' then 'lvextend -L 53000 /dev/vol_group/log_vol /dev/hdx'. > i had 35GB and added another 20GB disk for a possible 55GB but after the lvextend > the kernel isn't seeing the new volume size - that is i still only have 35GB of usable > storage ( including some PEs that when allocated will have a neglible impact on the > total volume size needed ). > > is this because set the logical volume size as opposed to extending it? > > the logical volume is now at almost %100 and won't take any more data ( sans those extra PEs ) > > here's a verbose vgdisplay: > > glimmung:~# vgdisplay foo -v > --- Volume group --- > VG Name foo > VG Access read/write > VG Status available/resizable > VG # 0 > MAX LV 256 > Cur LV 1 > Open LV 1 > MAX LV Size 255.99 GB > Max PV 256 > Cur PV 3 > Act PV 3 > VG Size 54.16 GB > PE Size 4 MB > Total PE 13866 > Alloc PE / Size 13250 / 51.76 GB > Free PE / Size 616 / 2.41 GB > VG UUID oBe1zH-ifW2-1Lhx-nAGe-UP5t-0Maw-WryAw7 > > --- Logical volume --- > LV Name /dev/foo/lvol1 > VG Name foo > LV Write Access read/write > LV Status available > LV # 1 > # open 1 > LV Size 51.76 GB > Current LE 13250 > Allocated LE 13250 > Allocation next free > Read ahead sectors 120 > Block device 58:0 > > > --- Physical volumes --- > PV Name (#) /dev/hda7 (1) > PV Status available / allocatable > Total PE / Free PE 4076 / 0 > > PV Name (#) /dev/hdb1 (2) > PV Status available / allocatable > Total PE / Free PE 4885 / 179 > > PV Name (#) /dev/hdc1 (3) > PV Status available / allocatable > Total PE / Free PE 4905 / 437 > > > thanks! > > -- > Mark Garey Tel: (415) 243-4055 x1023 > Transvirtual Technologies, Inc., Fax: (415) 243-4056 > San Francisco, CA.
