Hi all,
I want to make sure I understand the correct way to add more disc
space under LVM. If you have LVM set up on one single HD, and then
want to extend that to cover a second HD what is the correct way to
proceed?
>From reading the HOWTO I think this is how it is done. Am I missing
anything essential here?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Add physical volumes to a volume group:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Use 'vgextend' to add an initialized physical volume to an existing
volume group.
# vgextend my_volume_group /dev/hdc1
^^^^^^^^^ new physical volume
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Extend logical volume:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
# lvextend -L12G /dev/myvg/homevol
will extend /dev/myvg/homevol to 12 Gigabytes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increase size of file system to match the logical volume (assuming ext2 / 3):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# umount /dev/myvg/homevol/dev/myvg/homevol
# resize2fs /dev/myvg/homevol
# mount /dev/myvg/homevol /home
Is this correct? Is this all you have to do?
