Hi, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server using LVM during the install. This is a intranet/home/personal server - it works well so far. I will run out of space and want to add a hard drive. AFAIK I specifically need more space in the web "document root" - in /var/www . I have 60 out of a 100 GB hard disk devoted to that area right now and I continue to load video and audio files under /var/www - it will fill up. I stand ready to provide any info needed. I think I can fill in the details from the manual... But generally speaking what should I do? Below I'm taking a stab at what info is needed. Thanks: $ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x69add380 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 25 194560 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 25 12162 97489920 8e Linux LVM $ sudo parted /dev/sda print Model: ATA WDC WD1000JB-00C (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 100GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 200MB 199MB primary ext2 boot 2 200MB 100GB 99.8GB primary lvm $ sudo lvm version LVM version: 2.02.54(1) (2009-10-26) Library version: 1.02.39 (2009-10-26) Driver version: 4.15.0 $ sudo vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name system System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 5 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 4 Open LV 4 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 92.97 GiB PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 23801 Alloc PE / Size 23801 / 92.97 GiB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID vvUrmr-sP9W-H5me-Axol-5pYk-4Cit-AoqwjV $ sudo lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/system/root VG Name system LV UUID 8T4l84-UzUn-poOl-CUuc-flj4-JHwd-rWaARc LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 18.62 GiB Current LE 4768 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 251:0 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/system/var VG Name system LV UUID 7wVbH1-vHGU-b719-BPyd-gM0i-4eV6-i4PvY3 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 2 LV Size 60.54 GiB Current LE 15497 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 251:1 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/system/home VG Name system LV UUID rzMoJJ-EGnB-3lDG-LJZP-SFKP-AAui-YzwlZP LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 2 LV Size 11.02 GiB Current LE 2820 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 251:2 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/system/swap VG Name system LV UUID 91ohFo-KzaI-T5bQ-dVne-HZxT-dfON-M49JL2 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 2.80 GiB Current LE 716 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 251:3 $ df -Th Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/system-root ext3 19G 1010M 17G 6% / none devtmpfs 497M 228K 497M 1% /dev none tmpfs 501M 0 501M 0% /dev/shm none tmpfs 501M 36K 501M 1% /var/run none tmpfs 501M 0 501M 0% /var/lock none tmpfs 501M 0 501M 0% /lib/init/rw /dev/sda1 ext2 179M 31M 138M 19% /boot /dev/mapper/system-home reiserfs 12G 44M 11G 1% /home /dev/mapper/system-var reiserfs 61G 19G 43G 31% /var ----end of post----Thanks. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own _______________________________________________ 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/
