I found this thread on the list while trying to figure out almost the exact same problem on CentOS 6.3 where --grow doesn't increase the array size inside a VM guest after I've lvextended the underlying LV on the host machine. You mentioned this bug was fixed in 2.6.32.27, does this mean my kernel version 2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64 should not be seeing this bug and I should be looking at some other cause? This is because fdisk -l doesn't seem to be seeing the new size either. p.s. replying to the list appears to default to include your personal email in the reply, apologies if that is not right. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
