Lets say I have the following scenario: I have 4 paritions on a RAID 5 (h/w RAID with 3ware escalade). 1 partition (/dev/sda4) is managed by LVM. Currently I have 4 disks in the RAID 5. If, in the future, I want to add disks to the RAID (the controller has 8 ports), is resizing /dev/sda4 in fdisk to accomodate the extra space problematic? In other words would the following work: 1) Stop LVM. 2) Extend /dev/sda4 to the end of the RAID with fdisk 3) Start LVM 4) lvextend a logical partition to the end of the physical volume. Or do I have to create a new partition on the disk for this extra space? Thanks. -- James _______________________________________________ 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/
