Hi all, I'm playing a bit with lvm/raid on linux, (on a pretty experimental box) and now I'm facing a problem that leaves me a bit stuck Basically, I've a volume group based on several mdraid partition (vg1 with md0/md1/md4 as pvs) recently I've increased the size of md1/md4 arrays by adding more disks and /proc/mdstats shows that the operation was successful. the I've issued a "pvresize" command on /dev/md1 and md4 to make lvm aware of new size, but I get the following error: pvresize -v /dev/md1 Using physical volume(s) on command line Archiving volume group "vg1" metadata (seqno 12). /dev/md1: too many metadata areas for pvresize 0 physical volume(s) resized / 1 physical volume(s) not resized pvck -v /dev/md1 Scanning /dev/md1 Found label on /dev/md1, sector 1, type=LVM2 001 Found text metadata area: offset=4096, size=192512 Found LVM2 metadata record at offset=10240, size=2048, offset2=0 size2=0 Found LVM2 metadata record at offset=9728, size=512, offset2=0 size2=0 Found LVM2 metadata record at offset=8192, size=1536, offset2=0 size2=0 Found text metadata area: offset=386587820032, size=131072 Found LVM2 metadata record at offset=386587826176, size=2048, offset2=0 size2=0 Found LVM2 metadata record at offset=386587824128, size=2048, offset2=0 size2=0 Found LVM2 metadata record at offset=386587822592, size=1536, offset2=0 size2=0 Can someone give me some hint, to shed some light on what's going on? obviously I've made something wrong, but I can't figure what (maybe unusual or not the best way to increase space, ok, but I can't figure out what's up). Thanks for any answer. _______________________________________________ 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/
