You need to either grow the physical volume if possible, add extra physical volumes to the volume group (and therefore grow the volume group), or shrink the existing logical volume. > according to 'df' I have plenty of space for data. Yeah, but that's not the space that logical volumes use. LVs are allocated from inside the group-of-physical-volumes in a VG. Think of LVs like partitions: if you have tons of space available on the FS that's inside a partition, that doesn't necessarily mean you can add a new partition to the disk. You'll have to either shrink the existing LV, or add more physical volumes to the group. I believe either can be done while the FS is mounted. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIfnS4S5vET1Wea5wRA2bLAKDbIXtd9c56WFCWM8hf2Au5t7D/TgCgoV0k BPTR74O1ES4C1bFJKdfhESI= =p+QB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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/
