Hi! I've got a 6.5TB xfs filesystem on a LVM2 volume. I wanted to increase the size of the fs so I added another ~10TB to the volume. Every step taken was successfull, (ie no errors) but the filesystem size remained unchanged even after the xfs_growfs. What I did was the following: I extended the lvm using pvcreate, vgextend and finally lvextend. pvscan gives: PV /dev/sda1 VG vg01 lvm2 [1.59 TB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdb1 VG vg01 lvm2 [1.59 TB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdc1 VG vg01 lvm2 [1.59 TB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdd1 VG vg01 lvm2 [1.59 TB / 0 free] PV /dev/sde1 VG vg01 lvm2 [2.00 TB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdf1 VG vg01 lvm2 [2.00 TB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdg1 VG vg01 lvm2 [2.00 TB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdh1 VG vg01 lvm2 [2.00 TB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdi1 VG vg01 lvm2 [1.55 TB / 0 free] Total: 9 [15.91 TB] / in use: 9 [15.91 TB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] and lvdisplay: --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/vg01/lv01 VG Name vg01 LV UUID rDSEQ3-DdhV-oLci-nNYT-dMdX-cppA-7v1r3e LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 15.91 TB Current LE 4169996 Segments 9 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:0 After xfs_growfs /vol1 ( mounted fs ) df -h gives: /dev/mapper/vg01-lv01 6.4T 6.4T 36G 100% /vol1 The fs remains in previous size!! # cat /sys/block/dm-0/size 34160607232 which is equal to 15.91 TB Have I missed something when I extended the volume / growed the xfs fs? The system running xfs is a Fedora Core 4, 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4smp, lvm2-2.01.08-2.1, xfsprogs-2.6.13-4 Per _________________________________ This email has been ClamScanned ! www.clamav.net _______________________________________________ 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/
