We have a Hardware Raid 5, with one partition being LVM. c0d0p1 Boot Primary Linux ReiserFS 98.71 c0d0p5 Logical Linux ReiserFS 10001.95 c0d0p6 Logical Linux LVM 429302.04 dfx-nas-01:~# pvdisplay /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 VG Name nasvg PV Size 399.82 GB [838480482 secs] / NOT usable 32.19 MB [LVM: 177 KB] PV# 1 PV Status available Allocatable yes Cur LV 6 PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 12793 Free PE 2649 Allocated PE 10144 PV UUID AY5IUI-0wto-lQpS-AoKb-SpQZ-ku3p-51nvIY We will be adding additional physical disks to the Raid array as need dictates - How would I go about making this new free space "available" for use in the PV? - Turn off server, add new HD's, boot into HP Top Tools and add the new drives to the array (Giving additional space). - cfdisk(or fdisk), delete the data partition(Making note of the starting cylinder), then recreate the data partition with the same starting cylinder, but incorporate the new free space. - pvresize? (I do not seem to have this utility?) - xfs_growfs Thanks in advance.
