Hi all
I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This is on LVM, btw.
[root@nd11176 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

[root@nd11176 ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [9.97 GB / 0 free] Total: 1 [9.97 GB] / in use: 1 [9.97 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
[root@nd11176 ~]# vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2
[root@nd11176 ~]# lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00' [9.97 GB] inherit
So, my question is, if I extend the Physical Volume, what else do I need todo in order to add more Logical Volume's?
where's the rest of this disk? unpartitioned? create another LVM partition as sda4, and add it to the VolGroup00, then grow LogVol00, and use resize2fs to grow the file system to fill the new LogVol00 size. _______________________________________________
Hi John,
It seems like the tech @ the data centre has only created a 10GB partition, and since I only have SSH access to the server, I've decided to send the server back to have it properly repartitioned.
