Hi, I have a 200GB Raid 1 drive (md0) On this I set up a group vg00 and two volumes, approx 80G (/dev/vg00/rhome) & 120G (/dev/vg00/raid) These can be dismounted as required. I've about run out of space on the larger volume and have plenty on the smaller, so I resized the 80GB volume using e2fsadm -L -20G /dev/vg00/rhome This appears to have worked fine, the free space on that volume has reduced by 20gb. The problem is that I cannot now extend the other volume; both e2fsadm & lvextend say there is no free space.. lvextend -- no free physical extents in volume group "vg00" Vgck shows an apparent problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it: vgck -- VGDA of "vg00" in lvmtab is consistent vgck -- only found 30720 of 35840 LEs for LV /dev/vg00/raid (0) vgck -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" reading data of volume group "vg00" from physical volume(s) vgck -- please DON'T run vgscan prior to vgcfgrestore Vgdisplay shows: VG Name vg00 VG Access read/write VG Status available/resizable VG # 0 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 2 Open LV 2 MAX LV Size 255.99 GB Max PV 256 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 186.30 GB PE Size 4 MB Total PE 47694 Alloc PE / Size 47694 / 186.30 GB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID xrNX8E-Is0c-Jvub-tGrB-OWUr-DMmw-M2aAXp According to fdisk, md0 has 195,360,896 blocks. I've seen a message with one command (I can't remember which) along the lines of md0 not being associated with vg00 ??? System is EL3 with all updates to date via yum. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks, Robert Jenkins. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
