One last thing I want to confirm is the lvextend command to 'grow' the logical volume : lvextend -L+144G /dev/VolGroup00/my_volume After all said steps in previous messages on this thread are complete, is the above command correct for my particular scenario? Do I want to 'extend' the volume size or 'grow' it? Not sure what the difference is. ~k _______________________________________________ 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/
