Hello LVM mailing list,
thank you very much for your reply. I could be able to upgrade to a new
120G HD. My second goal was to create 2 new partitions and extend my
/home directory:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 14 77 514080 8e Linux LVM
/dev/hda3 78 784 5678977+ 8e Linux LVM
New partitions:
/dev/hda4 785 14593 110920792+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 785 13500 102141238+ 8e Linux LVM
/dev/hda6 13501 14593 8779491 86 NTFS volume set
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/Volume00/LogVol00
6047492 4196432 1543860 74% /
/dev/hda1 101089 27212 68658 29% /boot
/dev/Volume00/LogVol02
28759040 24646092 2652112 91% /home
none 386184 0 386184 0% /dev/shm
I then performed:
1) pvcreate /dev/hda5
2) vgextend Volume00 /dev/hda5
3) lvextend --size +97.4g /dev/Volume00/LogVol02 /dev/hda5
but my /home is still 28G
I was wondering if it's a file system issue, because /dev/hda5 has not
been formatted and mke2fs. By the way, I cannot make2fs
/dev/Volume00/LogVol02 because I would destroy all my /home.
Any idea?
Thanks
Rgds,
Luca
