Extend VG - Expand LUN vs New Disk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone,

Are there any major differences between expanding an existing LUN
(already striped & mirrored on storage-array) and use pvresize &
"lvextend -r ..." vs adding a new disk to your VG when you need to
expand an existing filesystem?

At work we do the latter and almost everyone believes expanding an
existing LUN is not a safe operation.  Is there really a preferred
method? Or is it just a matter of personal preference?

Thanks!
Jorge
