...

Note that I suggested that you _dont_ resize partitions but create a new one (new partition with a new pv on it etc.). pvresize resizes the pv _if_ the containing block device or partition has already been grown.

...

parted seems to want to resize the file system also and i think this would make some troubles. I thought pvresize would do this in one step?

Hi Peter,

Thank you for all your suggestions! I will probably will add sdb2, but i would like to know if it is possible to resize a partitition without the filesystem an if yes how do i do that?

Thomas

You stand more of a chance losing data if you try to resize the partition.
