If by "operating system", you mean that the filesystem isn't any bigger, then all you need to do is re-size the filesystem (using 'resize2fs') to take advantage of the new space. > ********************************** > root@mail init.d]# pvdisplay > --- Physical volume --- > PV Name /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 > VG Name VolGroup00 > PV Size 135,53 GB / not usable 0 Ok. > [root@mail init.d]# vgdisplay -v > Finding all volume groups > Finding volume group "VolGroup00" > --- Volume group --- > VG Name VolGroup00 > Alloc PE / Size 4336 / 135,50 GB > Free PE / Size 1 / 32,00 MB So all your PE's are allocated, and I think you're all set to do the filesystem re-size. I don't think you want to be messing with pvresize. --Matt _______________________________________________ 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/
